Williams sisters' book advises pre-teens
Embracing their status as role models, Serena and Venus Williams have written a book with advice for pre-teens on such subjects as money and dating.
"We both really have a lot to say about that," Venus said Wednesday with a laugh.
Titled "Venus and Serena: Serving From the Hip: 10 rules for Living, Loving and Winning," the book is targeted for 9 to 12 year olds.
"It's a great book for teenage girls who deal with different issues," Serena said. "Growing up, I would have loved to have had such a positive role model to look up to and try to be like and try to emulate. We love having that opportunity to say, `Look, you can be like us, you can be successful and at the same time have high morals and high self esteem and be a very nice person at the end of the day.'"
The sisters, who are in Key Biscayne for the Nasdaq-100 Open, wrote the book with Hilary Beard.
"It's like we're having a conversation back and forth," Serena said. "We wrote it with someone, but we wrote it."
