Lakers’ LeBron James announces exciting personal news

LeBron James is excitedly announcing his latest creative endeavor – a children's book about his favorite holiday: Halloween. The NBA superstar shared the news on Instagram, stating that the book, titled "Happy Hallow-EEK!", will be published by Harper Kids and released on July 21, 2026.

The story follows Zara and her friends as they navigate the spookiest Halloween party ever thrown at Hickory Elementary. With its heartwarming, humorous, and hauntingly fun tone, this tale is sure to delight young readers and Halloween enthusiasts alike.

This marks James' third children's book, following "I Promise", "We Are Family", and "I Am More Than". His first book, "I Promise", became a New York Times bestseller. The new release showcases James' dedication to creating engaging stories for kids.

A limited-edition hardcover edition of the book is available for pre-order now at major retailers such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target, and Walmart.
 
omg this is sooo cool 🎃📚 lebron james as a kids author lol what's next? he should totally write a halloween-themed video game or movie too!!! i'm defo buying that book for my little nephew, gotta share some of dad's favorite spook-tacular vibes with him 😊 and happy to see lebron giving back to the community through books, he's already killing it on & off the court 💪
 
idk why lebron james needs another excuse to be a kid again 🤣 his last books were pretty cool but i'm not sure if kids would read a halloween story when they could just play with their friends on actual halloween 🎃👻 maybe it'll be fun for the little ones who love spooky stuff though? and what's up with all these sports stars doing kids books anyway? 😅
 
Whoa, LeBron's getting into kidlit 📚👦! I'm actually stoked to see him spreading some Halloween vibes through his latest creation. It's awesome that he's not just stopping at sports anymore – the guy's got a heart for storytelling. I mean, three books already? That's dedication! His previous ones were great too, and this one sounds like it's gonna be a real page-turner (get it?). The fact that it's a limited edition hardcover is a nice touch – kids are gonna love collecting these special editions. Can't wait to see what LeBron comes up with next... maybe a holiday-themed video game? 🎮😁
 
Idk why LeBron's gotta go and make another kids' book 🤔... didn't he already do three? Like, wasn't "I Promise" a thing? Anywayz, I guess it's cute that he's doing this for Halloween - I mean, who doesn't love a good spooky party? The story sounds fun tho, got any cool art or anything? And what's up with the weird title... Hallow-EEK instead of just Halloween 🤷‍♂️. Oh wellz, I guess it'll be out in 2026, so we'll see how that turns out 📚
 
OMG I love this idea!!! 🎃📚 LeBron's books are already so good but a Halloween story? That sounds like so much fun! I can imagine Zara and her friends having the best time at that party 😂. My little nephew loves reading about kids' adventures, I'm totally getting him this one ASAP! 💥
 
😊 So, LeBron's got a new book out and it's actually not half bad! I mean, I've never been a huge Halloween fan myself (more of a Christmas person), but the idea of Zara and her friends having a spooky yet fun party sounds like something my little cousins would love 🎃. It's great that LeBron is doing this, though - he already has a good track record with his other books and I'm sure kids will enjoy this one too! ⭐️ The fact that it'll be out in July 2026 seems a bit weird considering Halloween is in October... maybe they're planning to release it a bit early? 🤔
 
I think it's fascinating how LeBron James has leveraged his influence to create an immersive experience for young readers through "Happy Hallow-EEK!". The narrative's focus on embracing diversity and inclusivity, especially in the context of a Halloween party, aligns with his commitment to promoting positive values in children's literature. As a pioneer in this genre, James' success with previous titles like "I Promise" has undoubtedly prepared him for this latest venture. It will be intriguing to see how "Happy Hallow-EEK!" resonates with readers and further solidifies James' reputation as a dedicated storyteller 📚👻
 
idk why people get so hyped about celeb kids books 🤷‍♂️ but lebron's gotta give it up, he's been releasing some dope ones lately 💼. i mean, a book about halloween isnt super original, but if the kidz love it, who cares? 🎃 the fact that his first one was a bestseller and hes gonna do another one with harper kids shows hes still on top of things 👏. but let's be real, its not like he wrote it himself... he probably had some help from the team 💻. anyhoo, cant wait to see the final product, hoping its as fun as his other books 🎉.
 
🙄 so lebron james is gonna make me care about halloween 🎃 he's been dropping these children's books left and right like they're going out of style, and honestly it's kinda growing on me... i mean who wouldn't want to read a book from the king himself? 🤣 but seriously, his dedication to creating fun and engaging stories for kids is awesome. and let's be real, "Happy Hallow-EEK!" is gonna be a bestseller just because of lebron's name on it 😂. pre-ordering the hardcover edition now, mainly so i can show off my cool new bookshelf 📚👍
 
It's fantastic to see LeBron James leveraging his platform to create content that resonates with a younger audience 📚👧. The fact that he's publishing a children's book about Halloween is a clever move, tapping into the nostalgia of adults while introducing kids to the holiday in a fun and accessible way 💡. Given his previous success with "I Promise", it's no surprise that this new release will be well-received by both children and parents alike 📈. The collaboration with Harper Kids adds credibility to the project, ensuring that it meets high standards of quality and appeal 🎨. I'm intrigued to see how James' unique voice and perspective will shape the narrative in "Happy Hallow-EEK!" 🤔
 
🎃 I'm so stoked that LeBron's releasing another book! He's already proven himself to be super talented in this area with his other books, and a Halloween-themed one? 🤩 That sounds like it's gonna be a real page-turner! I love how the story is about friendship and having a good time on Halloween - it's just what kids need to see. Plus, LeBron being involved makes it feel way more special, you know? He's just so down-to-earth and genuinely cares about sharing his passion with others, which is really admirable. Can't wait for July 21, 2026! 📚👍
 
Come on 🙄, LeBron James needs to retire his children's book thing ASAP! I mean, he's already got a reputation as 'The King' on the court, does he really need to try to be some kinda kids' lit author too? And what's up with Halloween being his 'favourite holiday'? You'd think it's just another day for most people. Plus, isn't July 21st like, super early to release a book about Halloween? Who's even reading books in July? 🤷‍♂️
 
Ugh, another celebrity trying to cash in on Halloween merch... I mean, a children's book 📚👻. Can't they just leave us alone? It's not like we don't already have enough kid-centric content flooding the market. And what's up with the title "Happy Hallow-EEK!"? Sounds like someone barfed up some cheap candy-themed puns 💀😒. I guess it's kinda cool that LeBron is trying to share his enthusiasm for Halloween, but can't he just let kids discover their own love for the holiday without forcing it down our throats? 🤷‍♂️ And pre-ordering a hardcover edition at all these big retailers? Not exactly the most eco-friendly or sustainable option...

It's cool that he's using his platform to create a story that'll bring back those fun memories for kids. The fact that it's part of the Harper Kids series is a great sign, they're doing some awesome work with stories like "I Promise" which resonated with so many families 📚💕 I'm curious to see how this one turns out - will it be as spooky or silly as we hope? Either way, can't wait to get my hands on the limited edition hardcover and read it to my little ones when it drops! 💫
