About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a new, intimidating environment or feels like they lack the 'natural' talent their peers seem to possess. It is an ideal choice for the young reader who is struggling with self-doubt and needs a visual, action-packed reminder that courage is something you build, not something you are born with. The story follows a young boy who discovers he has a hidden legacy as a protector against monsters. While it is a high-stakes fantasy adventure, the core of the book is about overcoming the paralysis of fear and finding the inner strength to step into a leadership role. At just 40 pages, it is approachable for reluctant readers and provides a powerful mirror for children of color to see themselves as the hero of a superhero-style narrative.
