The Boy Who Never Gave Up is the inspiring true story of NBA superstar Stephen Curry. This Fully illustrated picture book biography tells the story of a young boy who many said was too short to play in high school, too weak to play in college and not good enough to play in the NBA.
Children's/Kids Picture Book Biography K-3
This is the story of basketball star Stephen Curry's childhood. Stephen dreamed of becoming a basketball star like his father. Because Stephen was short and not very strong, the other children made fun of him and belittled his dreams. Stephen's dad advised him to keep his shot up and move faster. That is exactly what Stephen practiced day after day. Soon he was leading his high school team to championships. Stephen continued to be disappointed with his progress and worked even harder. When college admission time arrived, he was thought to be too weak for the best college teams and not material for the NBA. Do you think that stopped Stephen?
This book provides a good incentive for children to excel in sports and to ignore bullies. Targeted for grades kindergarten through five, I think it is best for the primary grades. There are a few editing issues; the font size could be enlarged. The illustrations are rather stylized, but the message is valuable and basketball aficionados will love the story.
