Japanese tennis champ Naomi Osaka believes young girls must take part in sports and find confidence through athleticism. To promote her ideology, she has authored a new children’s picture book, The Way Champs Play, through which she wants young girls to, “see the beauty and benefit of sports.” 

The four-time Grand Slam champion Osaka, 24, told PEOPLE magazine: “I wanted to reach young girls in a way that they would enjoy and understand and it was really fun to simplify and celebrate girls in sport. I want to help tell stories that empowered women and girls, so it was the perfect fit to have this book be the first one we published.”
