A Life Story

The volume is written in an easy conversational style. As such, the presentation is perfect for young readers. Will Smith was born nearly 40 years ago in Pennsylvania. He was a Baptist, although he attended Our Lady of Lourdes- a Catholic School. The family lived modestly. His father worked in refrigeration. Will was a good student. He did well in the technical subjects according to the author. There was an opportunity to study computers; however, Will chose the entertainment industry. His first album was "Rock the House". Later, he starred in the TV comedy "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air". The book contains a number of memorable pictures. i.e. a yearbook photo of Will and a photo of "Independence Day" performers; such as, Goldblum, Pullman, Smith et.al. Near the end, the author challenges readers to imagine the future direction of Will's career. The book has so much content that such a task would be very difficult to contemplate. The work has an extensive listing of his performances in the Appendix. This includes a chronology, a discography, a filmography, chapter notes and website information. The presentation would be good for the sports enthusiast in your house.
