Description
Nalvana feels like all of her friends have some type of superpower. She has friends with super speed (who always beat her in races), friends who can fly (or at least jump from a swing and seem to fly across the playground), and friends who are better than her at a million other things. But when her mom shows Nalvana that she is unique and special, she realizes that her superpower was right in front of her all along.
This abridged and revised board book version of the bestselling, critically lauded What's My Superpower? By Aviaq Johnston brings the book's message of acceptance and kindness to babies and toddlers alike.
