Tiki Barber Says 'Go Long!' With A New Book

Football player turned TV correspondent, Tiki Barber is also the co-author of a series of children's book with his twin brother Ronde. Their latest book is Go Long!, which is available in stores now.

Inspired by their childhood, the book series follows kid versions of Tiki and Ronde and their trials and triumphs as brothers and football players. In Go Long!, eighth-graders Tiki and Ronde are starters for their junior high school team and have been asked to play for the high school team. But this promotion leads to obstacles in team work with their new head coach.

Tiki is the record-holding former running back for the New York Giants . He played for the Giants from 1997 to 2006 and had the honor of going to the pro-Bowl three times during his career. Now, he's a correspondent for NBC's The Today Show and an analyst on Football Night in America. Ronde is currently the cornerback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

You can meet this former NY Giant at Kidville in the Upper East Side tonight from 5:30pm to 6:30pm. He will read and sign copies of Go Long! with all proceeds from tonight's sales going to the Children's Miracle Network. "a non-profit organization dedicated to saving and improving the lives of children by raising funds for children¹s hospitals across North America."

The Barbers' previous kids' books include By My Brother's Side (2004), Game Day (2005), Teammates (2006) and Kickoff! (2007).
