Shaquille O'Neal is proving himself to be a true renaissance man with his latest venture into children's books.
The NBA legend and Newark, N.J. native launched his book series "Little Shaq" in a movie theater in his hometown, according to NJ.com's Dan Ivers.
Shaq gifted each child attendee with a free copy of the book, published by Bloomsbury Children's Books. It's the first book in a three-part series.
Guests at the event were treated to a reading by the big man himself, along with a movie showing and lunch.
