Steph Curry Spreads Message Of Positivity And Hard Work In New Kids’ Book: ‘We All Have Something To Offer The World’
By Movieguide® Contributor
NBA star Steph Curry is showing kids how to pursue their own talents and passions with his new book “I Have a Superpower.”
The picture book is designed to help children stay positive and set goals in order to achieve what they set their minds to.
“This is our [Unanimous Media, Curry’s multimedia company] first project out and [we want] to hopefully reach the next generation of kids that are dreaming big, are going to be the next leaders and game changers,” Curry shared. “We want them to be able to set their sights on what they want to accomplish in the world and really believe that it’s possible.”
Curry, who is a father of three, said that the book was partly inspired by his own kids’ love of reading.
“You kind of have your kids in mind when you’re talking about a book, and then you realize that this is kind of a universal opportunity to reach the next generation,” he explained.
When asked what he hopes kids get out of reading “I Have a Superpower,” Curry replied, “We’re all unique and we all have something to offer the world. And if you have a work ethic, if you have a belief and you feel like whatever that requires is already inside of you, then good things will happen.”
This is not the only project Curry has in the works. Movieguide® previously reported on his work to make faith-based movies:
Stephen “Steph” Curry is ranked the 8th highest paid athlete in the world. His initial fame stems from his mad skills on the basketball court as the point and shooting guard for the Golden State Warriors. How does Curry not get lost in all the fandom? The answer: by making his priorities faith, family and career- in that order.
In a day when athletes are viewed as celebrities, Curry, like many other sports professionals before him, hopes to expand his abilities to the silver screen.
The 30-year old athlete, husband and father of three looks forward to using his platform for good. As reported by Variety, Curry now plans to test his artistic capabilities with his new production company, Unanimous Media.
Curry promises to be heavily involved in the projects that make their way to production. Yet, with his outspoken faith, Curry clears up his intentions with the content Unanimous will portray; “It’s not about me hitting people over the head with a Bible and telling them they have to believe a certain thing or think a certain way,” he explains.
Rather through showcasing Christian topics and inspiring stories, his desire is to lend a hand in offering better content options.
Clearly, Curry is aware that faith and moral content is sparse for family-friendly audiences today. He hopes that the work of Unanimous Media will elevate the positive content that audiences desire.
Unanimous will produce feature-length movies, mini-series that showcase a variety of genres along with merchandise and video games. Two of the current projects he’s focusing on center around the Christmas and Easter holidays.
Due to their experience in the faith-based realm, Sony will serve as the distribution company for most of the production company’s projects. Affirm Films, a faith-branch of Sony, released other faith-based movies like PAUL AND APOSTLE OF CHRIST, MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN, FACING THE GIANTS and RISEN.
