Serena Williams continues to instill the gift of joy and courage within kids by publishing her first children’s book based on her daughter Olympia’s favorite doll, Qai Qai.
“People follow Qai Qai’s social media accounts for laughs and trending dance moves, but she represents something much deeper than that,” Williams told Good Morning America on Thursday. “Qai Qai has an infectious spirit and models a belief that anything is possible. This book reflects the lessons she teaches and embodies and we hope others can walk away inspired after reading ‘The Adventures with Qai Qai.’”

Williams’ fans were introduced to Qai Qai around 2018 when she and husband Alexis Ohanian gifted it to their now four-year-old daughter and she quickly took on a life of her own, thanks in part to an Instagram account (with more than 350,00 followers) that’s devoted to the toy. On the channel, an animated form of the lovable character moonwalks, gives a pep talk to her pet puppy, and of course, promotes her upcoming book.
