The story, which is written by Hurts himself and illustrated by Nneka Myers, is said to showcase the power of community and how one person's advice can make a difference.
The book tells the story of how Hurts and his friends are excited to start the new school year and try out for the football team only to become devastated that the team has been cut. The crew are not ready to give up just yet and get the community together to save the team.
