10-Year-Old Writes Book About Notre Dame Football

By Dianna Dilworth 

Some 10-year-olds are happy just to cheer for their favorite football team, but Jacob Keyes didn’t stop there. The ten year-old Spokane, Washington resident is so excited about Notre Dame’s football team that he wrote and published a book about them.

The Little Gipper’s Welcome to Notre Dame Football is Keyes’ self-published book about his favorite team. The $19.95 book is a guide the Fighting Irish.

Here is more from the book’s website: “I began following Notre Dame football when I was seven years old and instantly became a huge and loyal fan. I was lucky enough to visit Notre Dame for a summer football camp when I was eight years old. I was so excited to be at Notre Dame that I stayed up until 2:00 a.m. that first night exploring the campus! I was just amazed at the shiny Golden Dome, the candlelight in the Grotto, the Basilica, the Hesburgh Library, and of course, Notre Dame Stadium (even in the dark!).” (Via The South Bend Tribune).
