LeBron James announces new Halloween children's book

Halloween is LeBron James’ favorite holiday, and he often dresses up for the occasion. Publishing a book about this day was one of his dreams.

With the announcement of his latest children’s book, “Happy Spooky Halloween,” on Thursday, LeBron James once again ventures into the world of literature.

This 32-page picture book, illustrated by Ariel Landy, is about “teamwork and the excitement of Halloween.” Its release is scheduled for July 21 by publisher HarperCollins.

Halloween is the Los Angeles Lakers star’s favorite holiday, and he often dresses up for the occasion. Publishing a book about this day was one of his dreams.

“You know how much I love Halloween and this book is going to be special,” James said in a short video on social media. “Happy Halloween everyone!”

The plot follows the protagonist, Zara, and her friends, who attend a Halloween party hosted by “the older kids” at the fictional Hickory Elementary School, according to HarperCollins’ description.

James has previously published three children’s books: “I Promise” in 2020, “We Are Family” in 2023, and “I Am More Than” in 2024. “I Promise” became a #1 New York Times bestseller.
