Description
All-star Baby Dunks-a-Lot is back and ready to help his team solve a basketball mystery in this hilarious and sporty tale from NBA champion Jayson Tatum.
“There’s only one person who can save the game of basketball . . .”
When all the basketballs in the world mysteriously stop bouncing, the Commissioner of Basketball knows just who to call: Baby Dunks-a-Lot, the world-famous dunking baby! Join Baby D, his star NBA teammate, and his big brother as they hop into the Ball-Mobile and set off on a quest to save the game of basketball—one monster dunk at a time.
Jayson Tatum returns with co-author Sam Apple and illustrator Parker-Nia Gordon for another laugh-out-loud adventure, inspired by his own experience as both an NBA superstar and a loving dad.
The Boss Baby meets Space Jam in this slam-dunk picture book!

About the Author
Jayson Tatum (aka Deuce’s dad) is a professional basketball player for the Boston Celtics. He is a six-time NBA All-Star, a multi-time All-NBA First Team selection, and a two-time Olympic Gold Medalist. Sam Apple (aka Isaac, Nina, and Lila’s dad) lives in Philadelphia and teaches writing at Johns Hopkins University. He has not yet been selected to the All-NBA First Team. Parker-Nia Gordon grew up in the musical city of Memphis, Tennessee, home of rhythm and blues. She received her BFA at Ringling College of Art and Design, and after graduating, Gordon returned to Memphis, where she became a visual teacher for young elementary school children for three years. She is the illustrator of Daddy and Me and the Rhyme to Be, written by Chris Bridges (Ludacris) and Halcyon Pearson.
