Reach for this book when your child is feeling discouraged by their own perceived lack of talent or when they are struggling to see how their unique personality traits are actually strengths. This playful graphic novel follows Narwhal and Jelly as they explore the idea of superheroes, not through capes and flight, but through the power of imagination and the 'super' ability to be a good friend. It is a lighthearted choice for children aged 6 to 9 who are navigating the social complexities of early elementary school. Through three short stories, the book models how to lift others up and how to find joy in the everyday. It is particularly effective for children who might feel like 'sidekicks' in their own lives, showing them that being a supportive, empathetic friend like Jelly is just as heroic as being a bold leader like Narwhal. Parents will appreciate the gentle humor and the way it normalizes feeling 'blue' while providing a roadmap for emotional resilience.
