When we think of monumental icons and superstars, we see them dazzling as they share their larger-than-life talents with the world. But before they were “supers,” before they could sing, jump, dance, act, or shoot a basketball, who witnessed their first smile? Who recognized their potential for greatness before the world knew such a talent existed? Who taught them to stand, so they could reach the stars?
