Megan Gustafson is a key player for the Las Vegas Aces, and she decided to put some inspiration in print. She wrote a children’s book that follows her and her corgi, Pancake, titled Pancake’s Passport.
When Gustafson first considered writing a book, she leaned toward an autobiography that would spotlight her path from a town of about 200 people to becoming an Olympian. However, she shifted directions after seeing how Pancake consistently brings smiles to kids’ faces.
That impact pushed her to create a children’s book focused on confidence, purpose and kindness, following Gustafson and Pancake on an adventure as they explore new places together.
Originally published in August 2025, the book’s impact on young readers helped earn it a feature during this year’s Big Ten Reading Week. Gustafson embraced the honor with smiles and laughter. She has said she is not trying to release just another children’s book. Instead, she wants to teach life lessons kids can carry with them for years.
Whether it is on the court or on the page, Gustafson continues to make a positive impact. As a result, fans around the world cheer her on and pick up her book.
