Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield are writing a children’s book about friendship, it has been revealed.
The two rugby league legends, who have inspired the world with their unbreakable friendship, will collaborate on a new book called Try to highlight male friendships and show “there are many ways to be strong”.
Designed for men and boys in particular, but for everyone to read and enjoy, the new book will explain that these “friendships can be based on love and vulnerability”, according to Burrow.
The former Leeds Rhinos star continued: “True friends like Kevin are always with their friends even when times are tough.

“I used to love reading bedtime stories to my three children, usually multiple times because they would try and delay their bedtime,” he added.
The new title will be preceded by another book for children and adults called With You Every Step: A Celebration Of Friendship, set to be released in November 2023.
This November release will see illustrators reproduce the former teammates’ words using black line artwork.
England rugby union defence coach Sinfield said: “To create a book based around friendship, we hope it will help many parents, not just fathers, connect with their children and provide an insight into what true friendship is.”
