💜 Katherine Legge’s kids’ book is here! Introducing... "Kat's Magic Helmet" ✨


Our newest release is here — and it’s a special one.

Our first-ever collaboration with a female professional driver is officially here.

And there couldn’t be a better partner than Katherine Legge — a trailblazing racer who has competed at the highest levels of motorsport, including INDYCAR, NASCAR, Formula E, international sports car championships, and world-famous events like the Pike’s Peak Hill Climb and the Indianapolis 500 — where she holds the record as the fastest woman in the race’s history.

Katherine continues to break barriers racing in NASCAR — and now, she's inspiring the next generation with her debut children’s book:

Kat’s Magic Helmet: The Early Racing Adventures of Katherine Legge

Inspired by Katherine’s own start in karting, Kat’s Magic Helmet tells the story of a shy 9-year-old girl who finds unexpected courage behind the wheel. It’s a story about bravery, confidence, and proving that girls belong on the grid too.

🖊️ Written by: Katherine Legge with Andy Amendola
🎨 Illustrated by: Ashleigh Mower — the same artist who designs Katherine’s real-world racing helmets!
📚 Format: Big, bold 10x10" premium hardcover
🎯 For Ages: 3–8 years old

🚨 100 Copies are Autographed 🚨

We’re excited to share that Katherine Legge personally signed 100 copies of Kat’s Magic Helmet as part of the first shipment to Amazon.
If you order early, you just might snag one — but they’re mixed randomly into inventory, so no guarantees. (Fingers crossed! 🤞)

About our Newest Illustrator – Ashleigh Mower:

Ashleigh Mower is an artist at heart who grew up in the motorsports world, tagging along with her dad around race tracks. At 13, she was struck by the sight of a young woman behind the wheel — that driver was Katherine Legge. Years later, Ashleigh and her sister began designing Katherine’s helmets — the one part of a driver’s look they truly get to own. Now, Ashleigh brings that same creative flair to Kat’s Magic Helmet, illustrating young Kat’s early racing journey with heart and emotion — aiming to inspire a new generation of girls (and boys) to dream big and race bold.

A special thanks to all of the beta testers who helped us perfect this book.

Can’t wait to hear what you think!
