Parent Guide > More Than He Looked: Steph Curry

This week in class, we’re reading "More Than He Looked: Steph Curry" by India James.

In "More Than He Looked: Steph Curry", India James describes how basketball legend Stephen Curry proved others wrong and achieved success as a basketball player.

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Fate & Free Will, Identity, and Resilience & Success as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"Can we control our fate?", "Can you change your identity?", "What makes you who you are?", and "Why do people succeed?"
