overcoming obstacles

We were immediately drawn to Stephen Curry: Never Give Up for its captivating narrative and heartfelt moments that feel both authentic and accessible to young readers. This children's book doesn't just chronicle Curry's rise to stardom; it delves into the gritty details of his early struggles, like his small stature and the skepticism he faced, painting a picture of resilience that's surprisingly relatable. What sets it apart is its ability to balance triumph with vulnerability, showing that even legends faced setbacks. The story is told with vivid, energetic language and colorful illustrations that bring his journey to life, making it feel like a shared adventure rather than a distant biography. While many books highlight athletes' success, this one emphasizes the grit behind the glory, offering thoughtful lessons on perseverance and self-belief. We found it refreshing how it avoids clichés, instead focusing on Curry's mindset and the small, consistent efforts that led to greatness. It's a powerful reminder that talent alone isn't enough-determination and heart make the difference. A must-read for kids who need a story that's both inspiring and honest.
