librarianryan 's review for:
I Have a Superpower
by Geneva Bowers, Stephen Curry
lighthearted
medium-paced
This is written by a celebrity author, and it feels that way. If you’re old enough, you may remember Saturday morning specials or those after school specials where they get a celebrity to come in and teach a very valuable lesson. They were almost always cheesy and overacted. If you put that into a book, it would be this book. First off this book is massively too long for a picture book. It’s told as if a sports news caster is giving a play-by-play and the speech bubbles are the action. The book is fine. The illustrations are lovely and very well done. But this is a book parents would skip a lot of in the reading. Plus, when you get to the super power it screams “This is a lesson you need to learn”. It’s not subtle. It’s right out there and it’s cheesy. This book is fine but when Stephen Curry stops playing basketball, will it stay on Library shelves very long? I doubt it.
