A Little Bit Super

Więcej o książce

In these humorous stories by top middle grade authors, young characters grapple with minor superpowers while discovering their ability to change themselves and their communities. Each child learns to navigate their unique abilities—one can shape-shift but only part of her body and only on Mondays, another can determine the ripeness of avocados, and one can hear the thoughts of pets in a store. These tales focus on the protagonists embracing their powers, which contribute to their individuality and help them find their place in the world. The stories highlight the idea that everyone possesses something special that makes them a little bit super. They emphasize the potential for personal growth, community improvement, and the importance of finding one's voice. Through these playful and thought-provoking narratives, readers are encouraged to reflect on their own unique abilities and how they can use them. The collection features contributions from notable authors, coedited by Leah Henderson and Gary D. Schmidt, offering a delightful exploration of self-discovery and empowerment.
