Booklist - 09/01/2022 A basketball phenom (and book-club curator) shares his secret for success in a dynamic and empowering picture book that touts the power of a superhero’s strongest asset: his heart. Hughes has been practicing before and after school every day for months, and today is the day he asks to join a team for a pick-up game of basketball. He may not “jump the highest, run the fastest, or be the tallest kid on the court,” but he plays with heart, and that makes him a champion. “If you have HEART with whatever you’re passionate about, you’re destined for success.” The story is delivered through a mix of text blocks and speech bubbles with the fresh contrivance of a narrating sportscaster who delivers play-by-plays on Hughes. Superhero portrayals with comics-style energy suit the wide-eyed and beatific cartoon illustrations. A search-and-find presented by an illustrated Curry invites rereading. With accessible advice honoring commitment to craft and fortitude, this is a sporty and strong addition to growth-mindset and SEL conversations. - Copyright 2022 Booklist.
