"Growing up in a family of Huskies, I have always known our football and crew programs were sources of great pride for the UW," said Ascani. "These two programs have been, and continue to be exceptional, and I am thrilled to share a glimpse of these legendary athletes and coaches' feats."

UW Huskies from A to Z features historical photos of campus and renowned alumni, as well as beautifully illustrated drawings by the father-daughter team of watercolor artists Stephan Moss and Naphtali Morden.

"After reading this book, I don't know how any Husky could not love our beloved school that much more," said Stuart.

The first release, WSU Cougars from A to Z, has proven a popular read by people of all ages, and its author, Green Beanie Books founder Carla Nellis, is announcing that more university books, including University of Southern California, Oregon and Gonzaga, are in the works.
