Heartwarming Children’s Book Based on Saints’ Marques Colston
October 13, 2011 By nolachick
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marques Colston didn’t earn the nickname “The Quiet Storm” because he likes to “make it rain” at the club. In fact, “clubbing it” is probably the last thing one would associate with the NFL star. He is a certified shy guy who would love nothing more than to stay out of the spotlight while taking care of business for his team on the football field. Imagine that?
This ever-humble NFL anomaly inspired his business manager and personal friend to write a book that he hopes will inspire sportsmanship and compassion in an age of bullying and showboating run amock. It’s called Young Marques Becomes a Quiet Storm and it is based on the Saints player’s childhood and the lessons he learned from his dad. Author Michael Harris, who first connected with Marques 6 years ago when he was an aspiring NFL player at Hofstra University, says he hopes the book will show kids that if they are patient and hardworking, success will be their reward.
