In his sophomore picture book, NBA superstar Stephen Curry
encourages kids to embrace the differences that make them
extraordinary! It’s the first day of school for Mila, a young
girl with hearing loss who dreams of playing on her school’s
soccer team. But, self-conscious of her hearing aids, Mila is too
nervous to try out. With the help of and perspectives from new
friends, what begins as a bumpy, anxiety-filled start for Mila,
soon transitions into an eye-opening experience about what it means
to be different—and what it means to be extraordinary. I Am
Extraordinary teaches kids how to look inside themselves to find
self-acceptance and the confidence to achieve any goal.
A candid and insightful memoir from one the NBA's most unlikely
stars. Growing up, Muggsy Bogues was always told he should do
something else, anything besides basketball. He never acknowledged
his many doubters except to prove them spectacularly wrong. Twenty
years after receiving his first basketball as a toddler, he stood
proud—at five-foot-three—as the starting point guard for the
Charlotte Hornets in the NBA. From the East Baltimore playground
courts where he earned his nickname by "muggin'" opponents for
possession of the ball, to Dunbar High School where he excelled
alongside future NBA players, Bogues set the tone in his early
years for the great heights he'd reach professionally. In this new
autobiography, Bogues delves deep into his life and career,
reflecting on legendary battles with Michael Jordan, John Stockton,
and other generational stars of '80s and '90s hoops. He shares
far-ranging anecdotes from playoff runs in Charlotte, filming Space
Jam, and even watching a young Steph Curry grow up. Conversational
and clear-sighted, this is a story of uncompromising vision and
fleet-footed determination during a golden era for the NBA.
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!
