Szabados

Shannon Szabados can add published author to her impressive list of accomplishments.

The gold medal-winning Olympic goalie unveiled her new children's book "Every Bunny Loves to Play," which she authored and illustrated, on Wednesday.

Szabados backstopped Canada to consecutive gold medals at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and 2014 Sochi Games and still plays professionally as a member of the professional women's hockey players association.
But Szabados also gave birth to a baby girl, Shaylyn, in August and as a new mom she wanted to teach important lessons to parents and kids alike.
"Shannon wanted to write a book that was more than just words on paper, something that her daughter could learn from," the book description says. "With obstacles relatable to real-world situations, the little bunny forges on creating a path to success. The book is] a fun and easy read with underlying messages of adversity, persistence and encouragement for both children and parents."
