John Cena: Children's Author Unleashed

The books will revolve around a rambunctious family of monster trucks – Elbow Grease, Pinball, Flash, Crash, and Tank. The first in line is 'Elbow Grease,' a picture book showcasing the trials and triumphs of the titular monster truck, the smallest among his brothers, on his quest to demonstrate his courage, resilience, and spirit.

Cena draws inspiration from his own journey, the series echoing his personal experiences. The books intend to impart the significance of determination and self-belief to young readers.

"With Elbow Grease and the books to follow, I want to offer kids a fun and engaging way to learn about the power of ambition, dedication, and heart," Cena shared in a press release. "These concepts have been transformative in my life, from my childhood up to now, and it’s so important to me to pass the positivity on and help our youngest generation see that the right mindset is key to achievement."

Cena's Expanding Horizon

This isn't Cena's first venture into children's entertainment; it follows his role in the film 'Ferdinand,' where he lent his voice to a peace-loving bull striving for freedom.

His literary endeavor expands with a range of multi-format books, including board books, Step into Reading early readers, and novelty formats, promised by Random House for Young Readers.

With another film, 'Blockers,' due out in April, 2018 looks set to be another action-packed year for the multifaceted John Cena.
