Derrick Rose: The Poohprint

In collaboration with Derrick Rose, Assouline celebrates the life of the beloved Chicago native and once-in-a-generation explosive talent. Revisiting the athlete’s life through personal and professional photographs, as well as incisive texts, Derrick Rose: The Poohprint traces his path both on and off the court. From Rose’s childhood and NBA career to his life post-retirement, the book highlights his immense talent, resilience, and cultural impact.

Written by Chicago native, sports journalist, and longtime friend Scoop Jackson, who closely followed and reported on Rose’s rise, the book reveals the star as not just a basketball player but a teammate, friend, son, brother, husband, and father. Handwritten letters and notes from a trusted inner circle, including his brother Greedy and former Chicago Bulls teammate and best friend Joakim Noah, offer rare insights into the support system that has served as his foundation. Never-before-published childhood photos collected and saved by his mother, alongside images from various milestones in his life, provide an intimate portrait of his enduring legacy.

Each chapter in Rose’s journey reflects his moral character, work ethic, and self-belief, serving as an inspiration to young athletes and anyone facing adversity. Through his investment in Chicago’s youth and initiatives such as the Rose Garden, Rose emphasizes his commitment to giving back and creating opportunities for the next generation to dream big. Derrick Rose: The Poohprint explores the many facets of the superstar’s life—from his introduction to basketball to career-defining wins, setbacks, and transformative relationships—capturing the rise of a Chicago legend.

Book Care Guidelines

To preserve the beauty and longevity of your book, we recommend the following:

* Handle with Care: Always use clean, dry hands to avoid transferring oils or dirt onto the pages and cover.
* Protect from Sunlight: Avoid direct sunlight, which may cause fading or discoloration over time.
* Store Properly: Keep books in a cool, dry place, upright on a flat surface, and away from heat or moisture.
* Dust Gently: Use a soft, dry cloth or feather duster to clean the cover and page edges.
* Open with Caution: Do not force the spine flat, especially on new books, to prevent damage to the binding.
* Avoid Food and Drinks: Keep books away from liquids and food to prevent accidental spills and stains.
* ⁠Less Spine Stress: Bookstands support the spine without forcing it flat, which helps prevent cracking or warping.
