U.K. soccer player, David Beckham, is next on the list of aspiring authors. Or is he? It is reported that The David Beckham Academy is set to release childrens books. The first book is set to be released in June 2009.

Per Perez Hilton: A rep for Beckham says, “The David Beckham Academy is more than just David’s dream of giving children the chance to experience great football coaching, it exists to encourage all aspects of their learning and development. David is particularly pleased that The Academy has inspired a series of books that will bring children to reading through football.”

Even though the books will not be written by Beckham, it is good to see him be a part of some positive child development activities.
