James also released a book recently, titled "I Promise". Meant for children, the book debuted atop the New York Times bestseller list for picture books in August. The book was written was by James and illustrated by Nina Mata.

Speaking about The I Promise by LeBron James initiative back in 2019, James quoted-

“When we first started, people knew I was opening a school for kids. Now people are going to really understand the lack of education they had before they came to our school. People are going to finally understand what goes on behind our doors.”

The The I Promise by LeBron James foundation opened with some skepticism — not only for its high-profile founder, considered by some to be the best basketball player ever but also for an academic model aimed at students who by many accounts were considered irredeemable.

The I Promise by LeBron James foundation's culture is built on “Habits of Promise” — perseverance, perpetual learning, problem-solving, partnering and perspective — that every student commits to memory. The slogan “We Are Family” is emblazoned on walls and T-shirts.
