Diversity was important to both Vanessa and Kobe in the book.

The author said Kobe had her re-write some characters to look more like his daughters. She said there wasn’t enough books with black and brown characters kids could look up to.

Pretty cool to see Vanessa so involved, and taking care of business.

The book is available for purchase on Amazon now.
