A statewide effort in Iowa has given dozens of public schools and over 40,000 2nd graders paperback children's books focused on women's basketball phenom Caitlin Clark, according to multiple reports. 

Clark, an Iowa native, has become one of the world's leading figures in women's sports at just 22 years old. She is already a face of the WNBA after one of the most publicized college careers of any athlete in college sports history. 

Now, public schools in her home state are looking to anoint her as an elementary student role model with the statewide book giveaway. 

A total of 50,000 books were distributed across the state of Iowa and the Greater Indianapolis Area.

The book, titled "Just Like Caitlin," was written by author Ali Obermeier. It uses Clark's likeness to tell a story through the lens of a grandfather and his basketball player granddaughter.

"By teaching children this value from a young age, they’ll learn how to work hard and dream big, but also what to do when things don’t turn out as they hoped. As they read about Caitlin’s incredible career, through Just Like Caitlin, children around the world will certainly be inspired by her talent and accomplishments—but more so by the values she places on what’s truly important in life," the book's description reads on its website.
