About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling embarrassed by their body or struggling with the 'ick factor' of being a human being. It is an ideal tool for normalizing the sticky, messy, and sometimes gross realities of childhood that often lead to playground teasing or private self-consciousness. The story follows a young protagonist who discovers that her most embarrassing trait, an endless supply of snot, is actually a secret superpower. By reframing a perceived weakness as a unique strength, the book navigates themes of self-confidence and identity through a lens of absurd humor. It is perfectly suited for children aged 5 to 9 who are beginning to navigate social hierarchies at school. Parents will appreciate how it uses a silly premise to open a serious door to conversations about body positivity and resilience, teaching kids that what makes them different might just be their greatest asset.
