Reach for this book when your child feels like their 'big' personality or physical energy is more of a problem than a strength. It is perfect for the child who accidentally breaks things or feels out of place because they do not know how to handle their own intensity. This story follows Thor, who feels like a failure after his weather powers and heavy hammer cause accidental damage to his friends' projects. When villains attack, however, he realizes that the very traits that caused trouble are exactly what make him a hero. It is a gentle, superhero-themed way to talk about self-regulation and finding the right environment for one's unique talents. Parents will appreciate how it reframes 'clumsiness' or 'loudness' as power that just needs the right moment to shine.
