Four-time NBA champion and superstar Stephen Curry makes a splash with his picture book debut inspiring young readers to unlock their very own superpower.
"A positive boost from a strong role model." —Kirkus
"With accessible advice honoring commitment to craft and fortitude, this is a sporty and strong addition to growth-mindset and social-emotional-learning conversations." —Booklist
Stephen Curry’s journey to the NBA wasn’t easy. Coaches and recruiters repeatedly told him he was too small to make it in the big leagues. But Stephen used their doubts to shape his ever-positive attitude and fuel his own underdog success story. Now, Curry pens an original story to inspire the next generation of go-getters and big dreamers.
I Have a Superpower is the empowering story that teaches kids you don't have to be the strongest, fastest, or even tallest kid out on the court. So long as you have heart, any goal is achievable through hard work and determination—even without a cape!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A budding basketball player takes to the court, revealing an unexpected superpower in this earnest, comics-style picture book from Curry. Narrating each scene, a Black-presenting television announcer follows the protagonist play by play: "Today is no ordinary day for Hughes." The eight-year-old, portrayed with light brown skin, replies via speech bubble: "Today is the day I share my superpower... with the world!" Arriving at an outdoor court where players of varying skin tones are being chosen for opposing teams, Hughes laments that he isn't taller, faster, or a higher jumper, but he describes what he does have: "heart." Kinetic, rainbow-hued graphics by Bowers provide an engaging visual energy that juxtaposes the newscaster's heavy-handed messaging: "Hughes knows he can overcome any obstacle that gets in his way." A Stephen Curry avatar appears at the end with a list of his "favorite things" hidden throughout the book. Ages 4–7.
