USA TODAY Network via Reuters Connect

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark became a No. 1 New York Times bestselling author with her debut children’s book.

The 6-foot guard helped the Fever finish 28-16, their most regular-season wins in franchise history. However, they fell short of their WNBA Championship aspirations after losing to the Las Vegas Aces in the first round of the playoffs.

Clark averaged 22.3 points per game while shooting 44.5% from the field and 36.1% from three, all career highs. She finished fourth in the MVP voting and earned her second All-WNBA First Team selection.

Outside the basketball court, the Fever star released her first children’s book, “EXTRAordinary! A Little EXTRA to Reach BIG Dreams.” The 32-page book is about the family, friends and teammates who help kids achieve their goals.

On Wednesday, Clark’s book debuted at No. 1 on The New York Times’ Children’s Picture Books bestseller list. The 24-year-old shared the personal update on social media.

The Fever celebrated their star’s latest milestone by also sharing the news on Instagram. The team issued a statement to congratulate Clark.

“Another accolade for the resume . Congratulations on becoming a #1 New York Times bestselling author, CC ,” the Fever wrote.

Clark is entering the final year of her rookie contract. She has been Indiana’s cornerstone star since being selected with the first overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft.

The Fever are expected to make moves this offseason to build around their star guard as Clark aims to win her first WNBA title.
