JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Today, Jacksonville's favorite big cat, Jaxson de Ville launched his new children's book, Jaxson's Big Jump. The book, as told to Alex Shepard and illustrated by Devin Carvajal, takes kids through Jaxson's behind-the-scenes journey of how he prepares for and delights fans with his antics, including his sky-high bungee jump to kick off Jaguars' home games.
The book will have a limited edition run of 4,000 copies and retail for $19.95. Beginning today, the book is available on the Fanatics.com “Be the First” landing page to receive an email reminder regarding its availability for purchase. It will be available in all Fanatics Pro Shops in and around EverBank Stadium beginning Oct. 25.
"On the heels of Jaxson's recent Mascot Hall of Fame induction, you can add 'children's book author' to his ever-growing list of accomplishments," said Christy Stechman Zynda, Jaguars director of entertainment groups and grassroots events. "Kids of all ages will enjoy this book about Jaxson's most legendary stunt as he gears up for game day!"
Jaxson's Big Jump will be making its way to kids around Jacksonville in the coming months, with Literacy Locker Room (Jaxson's Version) events, sponsored by JEA at five area schools. Jaguars' players, Legends and/or entertainment representatives will read the book to students and provide meet-and-greets with Jaxson himself and THE ROAR cheerleaders. Each classroom at the schools will receive a copy of the book as well.
Earlier this week, patients at Nemours Children's Clinic were given a sneak peek of the book with a special reading by Jaguars Legend K Josh Scobee and received a backpack with an autographed book from Jaxson and photo opportunities with the mascot and THE ROAR. Nemours will also host an upcoming Literacy Locker Room (Jaxson's Version) this fall.
