Jayson Tatum Turns Author as He Launches Book Baby Dunks-a-Lot Inspired by His Son Deuce
Tatum's dedication to promoting inclusion and representation is evident in his book, with the illustrations by Parker-Nia Gordon sending a powerful message of inclusivity. The protagonist's family is portrayed as Brown, and there are deliberate nods to Tatum’s personal life, such as an image of a woman throwing the ball to the baby for the dunk—an homage to his mother and her unwavering support and sacrifices.
Tatum’s approach to his first children’s book sets him apart from his NBA rivals. It reflects his commitment to spreading a meaningful message about representation and family bonds, marking a unique venture within the $145 billion industry.
In a heartfelt interview, Tatum also discussed his mother's influence on his life and career, highlighting her unyielding determination and sacrifices. Brandy Cole’s fierce courage and tireless efforts as a single mother to raise Tatum while pursuing her education have shaped his strong work ethic and grounded perspective.
Despite Tatum's success and independence, his close bond with his mother remains unbreakable, with Cole continuing to play an integral role in his life, overseeing his finances and ensuring his long-term financial security. This enduring bond with both his mother and son, Deuce, comes from the close bond all of them mutually share.
