Our Review

This engaging graphic novel brings Stephen Curry's inspiring basketball journey to life for young readers, chronicling how he overcame being told he was too small to become one of the greatest shooters in NBA history. Through dynamic comic-style illustrations and accessible storytelling, children witness Curry's determination as he transforms from an underestimated player into a basketball superstar.

This graphic novel successfully combines exciting sports storytelling with meaningful life lessons that will resonate long after the final page.
