In his sophomore picture book, NBA superstar Stephen Curry encourages kids to embrace the differences that make them extraordinary!

It’s the first day of school for Zoe, a young girl with hearing loss who dreams of playing on her school’s soccer team. But, self-conscious of her hearing aids, Zoe is too nervous to try out. With the help of and perspectives from new friends, what begins as a bumpy, anxiety-filled start for Zoe, soon transitions into an eye-opening experience about what it means to be different—and what it means to be extraordinary. I Am Extraordinary teaches kids how to look inside themselves to find self-acceptance and the confidence to achieve any goal.
Stephen Curry (he/him) is a four-time NBA Champion, two-time league MVP, and Finals MVP winner. He is the founder of Eat. Learn. Play., a nonprofit organization that empowers underserved children and communities across the United States. He is also the founder of Unanimous Media, a film and television company specializing in faith, family, and sports content, in tandem with Sony Studios.

Geneva Bowers (she/her) is a self-taught illustrator based in western North Carolina. She loves manipulating color and adding whimsy with a touch of realism and calm to her art.
