The Book of Superpowers is a series of warm, imaginative stories in which every child can discover a special power that has been inside them all along. Each episode brings a new hero, a new adventure, and a different superpower - from courage and curiosity to patience, kindness, and believing in yourself. These are stories that entertain, touch the heart, and help children see themselves with a little bit of magic.
Max loves building with blocks, but he doesn't like trying new things - when the teacher suggests a new game, he says, "Maybe next time." When she announces that every child will show the class what they love to do, Max is sure he can't. Every evening he builds a bridge that keeps threatening to collapse, and he tries once, twice, three times, until it holds. On presentation day, with his heart pounding and his hands shaking, he remembers that bridge and starts to speak. The fear doesn't go away - but it stops being in charge.
Six-year-old Hannah asks questions about everything - about leaves, about the moon, about whether snails have friends. When an older boy sighs, "All you ever do is ask questions," Hannah decides to go quiet and doesn't ask a single thing all day. Grandpa shows her an old magnifying glass and says he keeps it because it reminds him of all the things he doesn't know yet. The next day Hannah raises her hand - not with an answer, but with an idea: "What if we check first?" One question turns into an adventure for the whole class.
Sam is five and only trusts things that really work: a flashlight that shines, a whistle that whistles. When his three-year-old sister Ada calls a block a telephone, Sam corrects her. On a rainy afternoon the flashlight stops working - Sam checks the batteries, swaps in the ones from the remote, and nothing helps. In the hallway stands a huge box from the new washing machine, waiting for someone to carry it up to the attic. Ada crawls inside and announces that it's a ship. Sam says it's a box - and doesn't walk away.
Frankie is five and does everything fast. He spends the summer at Grandma's garden; she gives him a single bean seed, and when he asks when it will grow, she only says, "I don't know. I never counted." Frankie checks the little mound after an hour, before lunch, and again in the evening, and the next morning he scrapes the soil away with his finger, just to see. The seed has already sent out a root like a thin white thread - and the thread stays in the ground. Frankie covers the hole and tells no one. A few days later Grandma takes out the bag again: "I have one more left." She doesn't ask about the first one.
Ollie notices little things nobody else sees, and at the preschool table he always pulls out the chair next to him - just in case someone wants to sit down. Nobody does. When Ben asks, without meaning anything by it, "Why do you pull it out?" and points out that nobody ever comes, Ollie stops. Then he sees that Mom always bakes one extra roll, and when he asks who it's for, she only says, "I don't know yet." On Monday a new girl joins the class and stands by the door - and the chair next to Ollie is pushed in straight, just like all the others.
Polly is six and almost never says "no": she hands over her shovel, makes room on her towel, and agrees to be the one who waits during games. At the beach she meets Kira and they build a big sandcastle together - except Kira does the planning and Polly carries bucket after bucket of water to the moat, even though she'd rather build a tower. A little farther off, an older girl under a striped umbrella simply tells a boy with a ball, "I don't feel like it," and goes back to her book; nobody gets upset and nothing happens. When Kira calls "Water!" again, Polly sets the bucket down on the sand and says "no" - so quietly she has to say it again. Kira goes for the water herself, the tower rises on the corner of the castle, and in the evening the ocean takes the castle. The tower holds on the longest.
Tessa knows her stairwell by heart - or rather, she knows everything in it that doesn't work: the creaky step, the broken doorbell, the flickering light, and the light that always goes out one floor too early. So she doesn't walk up the stairs - she runs. On Friday evening the power goes out in the whole apartment building and Tessa is left alone in the dark, halfway up to the fourth floor. She can't run, so she sits down. Then the neighbor from the second floor sets a little lantern with a heart-shaped hole in its metal side on the windowsill of the landing - because from there you can see both up and down - and goes back inside.
Callie does everything by herself - ties her shoes, zips her stubborn jacket, carries a basket that's too heavy for her - and when someone holds out a hand, she pulls her elbow away and says two words: "By myself." On Tuesday at the library she spots a thick red book on the top shelf and can't reach it. She stands on tiptoe, drags over a wooden step stool, climbs to the top step - and is still a hand's width short. She walks up to the front desk and, instead of asking for help, asks what time the library closes, which she knows perfectly well. Only after counting eleven steps does she admit to the librarian, "I can't reach" - and she stays at the desk, even though she can't quite ask for anything yet. The second time, she asks straight out.
Andy is five and feels everything very strongly - when the zipper on his jacket gets stuck, he yanks it harder, and Mom says he has a little thunderbolt inside him. On Saturdays he takes his dog Button to the little park, where a man in a cap feeds the pigeons and they land on his shoes; when Andy runs up, they fly away. "If I don't move, they come on their own," the man says. Then he goes back to his newspaper. That Saturday the leash slips out of Andy's hand and Button runs farther and farther, and the louder Andy shouts, the farther Button runs. Andy stands there with the empty leash, glances at the pigeons on the man's shoes - and crouches down on the path without moving. Button comes back on his own.
Naomi divides the world into things she can do and things she can't - and she knows exactly which is which. The bike without training wheels landed in the second pile: all through May she put her foot down after two turns of the pedals, and in June she stopped taking it out at all. In the courtyard, Tim, an older boy, keeps a ball up with his knee every day, and every day it drops. Naomi asks what his best is, and then - how many times he's tried. Tim says he doesn't keep count - and keeps going. On Saturday morning Naomi walks past the shoebox with the training wheels in the basement, wheels the bike out, and rides a stretch of sidewalk, counting out loud to four. Nobody sees it.
