CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG) – She’s one of the biggest names in sports, and the story of Caitlin Clark has become larger than life.
But on Wednesday, second-graders across the state are learning it in the form of a book.
More than 40,000 books were given out to students across the state.
One Cedar Rapids principal says Clark’s message transcends sports.
“I think it really inspires our kids to work hard and dream big,” Cleveland Elementary Principal Condra Allred said. ”And I think not only Caitlin, but like having Hannah Stuelke from the Cedar Rapids school district, I think that has been huge. Just like all the native Iowa girls, showing up and showing out, inspiring young women to do things. But also not just young women, but also the young men you see with her jerseys on and things going on.”
All proceeds from the book sales go directly to supporting the Iowa Youth Athletic Foundation.
