John Cena is a beloved entertainer and dedicated philanthropist. Inspired by Richard Scarry - one of his favorite children’s book creators - John wanted to tell a story for young readers that shared some important lessons he has learned over the years, such as never giving up whether you win or lose. They are lessons that helped form his personal credo: hustle, loyalty and respect.
