Canadian tennis star Bianca Andreescu’s picture book, Bibi’s Got Game will be released  on May 31, 2022 and she is excited. “I started thinking about writing Bibi’s Got Game a few years ago, when I first had the idea to pass along the advice and tools that helped me as a young athlete,” said Andreescu in a press release. 


The book, which is co-authored by Mary Beth Leatherdale and illustrated by Chelsea O’Byrne, is a story about a girl who loves tennis but is sidelined due to an injury. With motivation from her mom and dog Coco, Bibi learns how to meditate and prepare her mind while her body heals. 


“I hope my picture book is not seen as just one tennis player’s personal story. I really wanted to create something that feels classic and shares timeless messages about the importance of family [both human and furry animals] and draws attention to your own mental health when facing challenges—whether in sports competitions or elsewhere,” she explained.
