The NFL A Fan Is Born Baby Book Series

For sports-loving families, passing down team loyalty to the next generation is a rite of passage. The NFL A Fan is Born baby board book series bridges the gap between early childhood developmental milestones and authentic game-day passion, allowing parents to welcome their newest family members into the fandom from day one.

Published by WinCraft—a renowned leader in licensed sports merchandise—and created for children ages 0 to 5 years, this premium series offers an engaging, colorful introduction to the sights, sounds, and spirit of NFL football.

Crafted by an Early Learning Pioneer

The series is authored by Julie Aigner Clark, a former teacher, mother, and the visionary founder behind the globally celebrated Baby Einstein series. Having penned over 50 best-selling children’s titles, Clark brings deep pedagogical expertise to the sports licensing world. As an avid Michigan State University alumna and sports enthusiast herself, she understands how to weave early literacy concepts with the emotional thrill of team traditions.

Rather than simply presenting logos on a page, Clark structures the narrative around meaningful childhood firsts. From learning first words and recognizing bold team colors to discovering the excitement of first cheers, the books pair crucial sensory and cognitive milestones directly with team identity.

Connecting Milestones to Game-Day Tradition

Reading together during early childhood builds language skills, strengthens emotional bonds, and fosters a love of storytelling. A Fan is Born enhances this routine by transforming everyday storytime into a shared family celebration. Whether parents are reading before bedtime or flipping through pages together on Sunday afternoon before kickoff, the rhythmic prose and bright illustrations keep young minds engaged.
