Laila Ali recently took part in a media tour surrounding the launch of her debut children’s book, A Spark of Greatness, sharing more about the book’s message and her partnership with Children’s Miracle Network.
A Spark of Greatness is centered on helping children recognize their own strength, confidence and potential. The book encourages kids to believe in themselves, recognize the greatness already within them and understand that their circumstances do not define what they can become.
Children’s Miracle Network is the exclusive nonprofit partner for the book launch. Through December 31, a portion of book sales will benefit CMN, and 4,000 copies of A Spark of Greatness will be distributed across the network of 170 children’s hospitals throughout the U.S. and Canada.
The partnership reflects a shared commitment to helping children grow, thrive and reach their full potential. For Ali, the goal was for the book to do more than inspire children through its message — she also wanted it to have a meaningful impact for kids and families at a time when they may really need it.
Ali discussed the book and partnership across several national and local media appearances, including:
