- Baker & Taylor
Discovering her apparent super-ability to make delicious cupcakes disappear, break through walls and "walk" on the ceiling by hanging upside down, an imaginative preschooler is astonished to realize that others, including her long-suffering mom, possess "superpowers" as well. - Baker & Taylor
When a young superhero-in-training gets hurt, she discovers that mothers have superpowers, too. - Perseus Publishing
Childhood is a magical time when even the stuff of the day-to-day is exciting and the ordinary often seems extraordinary. A part of this magic is that with just a little imagination, we all might be found to possess true superpowers!
This isn't the first or last book where a child delightedly discovers her own superpowers. But it may be just about the driest, funniest, and sweetest, where the discovery is handled with humor and charm.
One of the book's true pleasures is that it's a girl who discovers her own extraordinary abilities, and when her powers fail, as they must, she discovers them in her mom. All of which leads to a lovely intimacy between the two.
- Perseus PublishingHaving discovered her own superpowers, our little heroine is poised to discover them in others too. Most especially, her mom!
