Book Synopsis

My dad leaned in and whispered: “When you’re big what will you be?”
And with his words, I hugged him tight and told him: “Super Me!”

On a day out with his dad, a boy searched high and low for superheroes so he can find out how to be one when he grows up. He’s heard they’re super fast, super strong and good at rescues – and he needs to ask them how it’s done!

Each time the boy is disappointed not to find a superhero, his dad gently points out the ways in which the boy has the superpower already – that, in fact, if you look closely, there are heroes all around…

A heartwarming family adventure from the creators of The Fun We Had.

Our Review Panel says...

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.
