Children Books
Two GUC board members, former NBA players turned children’s book authors, bring their inspiring stories to life with “Yoga Bob: The Boy Who Brought Light Into The Night” and “Craig and His Magical Basketball”. These authors visit schools wearing their books’ themes to host engaging yoga and goal-setting workshops, complete with prizes and activities that spark creativity and wellness. Perfect for empowering young minds, these books and events make learning fun and transformative!
Yoga Bob is a children’s book series that introduces mindfulness, yoga, and emotional resilience through the story of a young boy learning to navigate his fear of the dark, confidence, and selfawareness. The book is also used as part of GUC’s after-school curriculum, with future editions following Yoga Bob into middle and high school to support students’ growth through each stage of life.
This is a story about a kid who found his life’s passion with his favorite mentor, his mother. Through their bond, Craig was able to understand what it would take to work hard, overcome obstacles and ultimately succeed in fulfilling his goal to become a professional basketball player.
GUC’s Reading Across America workshop at Compton College Library is a vibrant celebration of literacy and education. Featuring book readings by two former NBA players turned children’s authors, hands-on STEAM workshops, and thrilling e-sports activities, the event provided an engaging experience for young minds. With food, prizes, and interactive fun, the activation fostered a love for learning and highlighted GUC’s commitment to empowering the community through education and creativity.
