Colin Kaepernick Announces Scholastic Contract to Create Multiple Children's Books
Super Bowl quarterback, activist, leader and, now, publisher.
Kaepernick Publishing announced a multi-book publishing deal with Scholastic that will see Colin Kaepernick help publish a number of books. The first one will be a picture book titled I Color Myself Different and will be illustrated by Eric Wilkerson and published in April 2022.
The book was inspired by one of Kaepernick's experiences as a child who was adopted by a white family. In kindergarten, he picked up a brown crayon for himself after coloring his family with a yellow crayon.
