Stephen Curry launches a series of sports books for kids
San Francisco, California - Four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry's latest off-the-court move is one for the books!
The Warriors legend is launching a children's graphic novel series, called "Stephen Curry Presents!: Sports Superheroes," which will highlight great athletes.
In partnership with Penguin Workshop, the first of the four planned installments will focus on Curry's stellar basketball career and is scheduled for fall 2024.
"We hope that when kids pick up the books in this series to read all about their favorite athletes, it not only instills excitement and grows their love for reading, but also inspires them to reach for the stars and accomplish their dreams," Curry said in a statement, per NBC Sports.
The children book series will be created through the publishing arm of Unanimous Media, the multimedia publishing company founded by Curry and Erick Peyton.
Last month, Penguin released Curry's first-ever young readers picture book, I Have a Superpower. It teaches kids that they have the power to achieve any goal through hard work and determination, even without a "cape."
The new series will be co-written by Rich Korson and John Bycel, and the graphic illustrations will be done by Damion Scott.
