Andreescu launches first picture book, Bibi's Got Game

Canadian tennis star Bianca Andreescu has just launched her very own picture book called Bibi’s Got Game: A Story about Tennis, Meditation and a Dog Named Coco.

The children's book features Andreescu’s story, and focuses on the “inner strength and meditation” she uses to work through life’s toughest moments. Of course, Coco her dog is also featured prominently. Andreescu hopes that the book will help encourage kids to follow their dreams.

"For my first picture book, I wanted to share my story and how meditation (and my dog, Coco) keep me focused," said Andreescu. "Maybe it will inspire other kids to follow their dreams.”

The book, which is being published by Tundra Books, was written by Andreescu and illustrated by Chelsea O’Byrne and Mary Beth Leatherdale.

Bibi’s Got Game comes out on May 31, and can be pre-ordered from Drawn & Quarterly in Montreal.
