(With daughter, Roslyn M. Jordan) Salt in His Shoes: Michael Jordan in Pursuit of a Dream,illustrated by Kadir Nelson, Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers (New York, NY), 2000.
(With Roslyn M. Jordan) Did I Tell You I Love You Today?, illustrated by Shane W. Evans, Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers (New York, NY), 2004.

Sidelights
Deloris Jordan, the mother of NBA basketball superstar Michael Jordan, has joined with her daughter, Roslyn M. Jordan, to create a number of inspirational books for young children, all of which feature art by well-known African-American illustrators. In addition, Jordan shares her experiences raising her five children in Family First: Winning the Parenting Game. "If Michael's soaring success is grounded in his family upbringing, then certainly Deloris Jordan's wisdom may be worth noting," according to Booklistcontributor Lillian Lewis.
Both Salt in His Shoes: Michael Jordan in Pursuit of a Dream and Michael's Golden Rulescontain detailed illustrations by artist Kadir Nelson. Described by Booklist reviewer Denia Hester as "an inspirational tale," Salt in His Shoes finds a young Michael Jordan worried that he will never grow tall enough to become a professional basketball player. The encouragement of family members helps the boy see that, rather than height, hard work and determination—along with a large helping of patience—will be the means to achieve success. However, Michael's concerns are addressed too when his mom offers a folk remedy to cure shortness: she suggests that he put salt in his shoes and say a prayer every night. A contributor to Publishers Weekly observed that the mother-and-daughter writing team provides "authoritative insight into" Jordan's "boyhood spunk as well as reassurance to young athletes impatient for a growth spurt," the critic added.
Best friends Jonathan and Michael are dedicated to their baseball team, the Badgers, in Michael's Golden Rules. However, during a lackluster season, Jonathan's enthusiasm starts to flag due to his undeveloped skills as a player. Michael's uncle Jack, a former college player, shares his ten golden rules of the game, helping Jonathan realize what being a true winner is all about. Although School Library Journal contributor Barbara Katz found the book's dialogue somewhat lackluster, she added that "Nelson's illustrations are stunningly realistic and powerful." In Booklist Julie Cummins recommended Michael's Golden Rules as "ideal for reading to a group of baseball fans."
Did I Tell You I Love You Today? features large-format paintings by Missouri-based artist and musician Shane W. Evans. Geared for younger readers, the book's simple text describes a mother's efforts to ensure the health and safety of her young son as he goes about his day. Beginning with a healthy breakfast and concluding with a nighttime prayer, each of her actions translates into an act of unconditional love in the Jordans' rhyming tale. In School Library Journal Tracy Bell wrote that Evans's "vibrant" illustrations reflect the "playful, affectionate relationship between mother and child" that is central to the simple text, and a Kirkus Reviews contributor called Did I Tell You I Love You Today? a "tender read-aloud" that many families will adopt as "an often-repeated bedtime ritual for the very young."
