On May 20th, the release of Los Angeles Lakers forward Metta World Peace’s highly anticipated children’s book finally happened. The book, Metta’s Bedtime Stories, is being sold for $12.95 with some of the proceeds benefiting the NBA star’s charity, Xcel University.
Why Metta World Peace decided to write a children’s book is completely beyond me, and why he is on the cover is even more bizarre. The book is summarized with this:
Metta’s Bedtime Stories is dedicated to ALL Children, Families, and Educators. Metta’s Bedtime Stories was written to help children think about daily events in a positive light. These stories will show everyone that you can always have a better day tomorrow, if you have a hopeful heart and keep positive thoughts. Five stories are featured in this book: I’m afraid of the dark, Mud in my bed, One wish, Reach for the sky, and Tomorrow.
Read it to your children at your own risk.
