Cincinnati Bengals defensive lineman Devon Still and his young daughter Leah will soon release a book for children fighting cancer.

Leah was was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in the spring and her story spurred fans from around the NFL to raise over $1 million for pediatric cancer. 

Still says he and his daughter were often approached by parents of children battling the disease and it inspired them to write the book, titled "I Am Leah Strong."

"I talked to my daughter and asked her if she wanted to do a children’s book to help kids who are fighting pediatric cancer now and kids who will be diagnosed in the future to help them with the transition from normal life to being in the hospital all the time," Still told Chris Strauss from USA Today. "That book was written by her. I just had an outline of questions I wanted to ask her. Whatever answers she had I wrote in book form."

"I Am Leah Strong" is available for pre-order now.
