Seahawks QB Russell Wilson, Ciara author ‘Why Not You?’ book for kids

Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson and his wife Ciara just released a new book for children, named after their “Why Not You?” foundation.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and his wife, Ciara, can now add one more accolade to their already-impressive resumes.

The super couple teamed together to write a book for children called “Why Not You?” The book carries the same name as their charitable foundation – by no coincidence. The picture book, which was released on March 1, was illustrated by Jessica Gibson.

Here’s what Amazon has to say about the new release:

Why not you? Amazing you! You’re a winner! You’re so strong! You are perfect and important—you and all your gifts belong!

We all have big dreams! Sometimes it’s hard to imagine our big dreams coming true. But what if someone saw all the amazing and spectacular parts of us—our winning smiles, our fancy feet, our warm hearts—and asked, “Why not you?”

Whether it’s becoming a football player or a pop star or the president or a scientist: Why not you?

In this picture book debut, superstars Ciara and Russell Wilson encourage readers to see themselves achieving their dreams, no matter how outrageous they may seem. It’s a lyrical celebration of self-esteem, perseverance, and daring to shoot for the stars.

The Wilsons appeared live on the Today show on Tuesday to do a little self-promotion.

THIS IS YOUR BRAIN  ON FOOD
An Indispensable Guide to the Surprising Foods that Fight Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, and More

By Uma Naidoo, MD

Many people focus on the way their diet affects their physical health, their figure, and the environment. But we don’t often think about our diet’s influence on our mental state, and the consequences of this blind spot are dire. Pre-COVID statistics show that a staggering one-in-five American adults will suffer a diagnosable mental health condition in any given year, and 46 percent of Americans will meet the criteria for a diagnosable mental health condition sometime in their life.

In other words, there is an epidemic of poor mental health becoming more apparent in this country — one that could be mitigated more effectively, and even reversed, by simple changes to our diet and lifestyle.  Now, more than ever, maintaining ourselves and our loved ones in optimal mental and physical health is key.

Dr. Uma Naidoo has spent her life exploring the relationship between nutrition and mental health – and her triple-threat credentials as a psychiatrist, nutritionist, and trained chef give her a unique lens into their surprisingly intricate connection. In THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON FOOD (on-sale now on Amazon) she unpacks the complex ways in which food contributes to psychological wellness, offering practical – and surprising – dietary solutions for combatting a host of physical and cognitive health issues, including ADHD, depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, OCD, dementia, and many more.

Packed with cutting-edge research on more than 200 foods, nutritional recommendations, and brain-healthy recipes, THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON FOOD is the ultimate guide to reworking your brain – by reworking your dietary choices.
