Super Me is a charming and heartwarming adventure between a father and his son. The boy is on a mission to find a real superhero to gather tips and advice on how he can become one when he grows up. He seeks to find superheroes that are speedy, show strength and are daring and is disappointed not to find a ‘real-life’ one.

At each opportunity, his Dad reminds him of his own superpowers and strengths that are already within. He explains that the real superpowers are the kindness, courage, bravery and empathy he shows each day.

This book is a brilliant way of promoting self-esteem, discussing emotions and the qualities people look for in others. The rhyming text is a joy to read aloud, and the illustrations are bright and engaging.
