By Billie Jean King with Liz Robbins

I am thrilled to announce that I have collaborated with the one and only Billie Jean King on a young adult book: See It to Be It: Eleven Champions Leading Women’s Sports Today. These are the elite athletes you know, and those you should know better: Caitlin Clark, McKenzie Coan, Kendall Coyne-Schofield, Amit Elor, Diana Flores, Chelsea Gray, Nikki Hiltz, Asjia O’Neal, Naomi Osaka, Midge Purce, and Kelsie Whitmore. With exclusive interviews from the athletes, each chapter presents their backstories, revealing how they grew from teenagers to trailblazers, changing their sports.

What a true honor it has been to work with BJK on this important book. Among her legendary talents, she is a wordsmith who cares deeply about the power of storytelling to leave lessons for future generations.

This is the book I wish I had growing up as a high school athlete! It’s out on August 11, 2026, published by Calkins Creek, an imprint of Astra Publishing House.

A RACE LIKE NO OTHER:
26.2 Miles Through the Streets of New York

By Liz Robbins

In my first book, I bring the famed New York City Marathon to life, capturing the day's festivities mile by mile. Each chapter is a mile on the course. I tell the stories of the determined competitors—from a cancer survivor, to a recovering alcoholic, to a grandmother, to four professionals — through the prism of the unforgettable 2007 race.

Infused with rich history of the event's legends and its colorful neighborhood characters, A Race Like No Other provides a curbside seat to the first Sunday in November. I breathlessly carry the reader from the start on the towering Verrazano-Narrows Bridge to the triumphant finish line in Central Park.
