By Jessica Urlichs & Rebecca Gibbs
A warm, affirming story that helps tamariki recognise the strengths they already carry within them.
This beautifully illustrated book shifts the focus from external achievements to the quiet, powerful skills that help children navigate the world - things like kindness, courage, empathy, and perseverance. These “superpowers” are often overlooked, but they are at the heart of wellbeing and connection.
Written in Jessica Urlichs’ poetic style, the story creates space for meaningful conversations between children and caregivers about who they are, not just what they can do.
With prompts from a qualified counsellor included, the book offers gentle guidance for parents, teachers, and caregivers wanting to support children in recognising and growing these skills.
How this product supports tamariki:
This book nurtures self-worth and emotional development by helping children see their inner strengths. You might read it together and talk about moments in your child’s day where they used their “superpowers.” Over time, it helps build confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of self.
