Better Than A Superhero

Everyone has a superpower. Lionel just hasn’t found his yet.

Lionel is a curious boy who always dreamed of being a superhero—flying through the sky, lifting cars, saving the day! But when none of his “powers” work, he feels like just an ordinary kid...until a hike with his dad changes everything.

Among tall trees, stinky bugs, and mysterious footprints, Lionel begins to notice the world in a whole new way. By the end of the trail, he discovers his own real-life superpower.

This heartwarming picture book celebrates curiosity, imagination, and father–child connection. It’s sure to spark meaningful conversations about self-worth, discovery, and what it means to truly be special—values that live at the heart of who we are.

This book is perfect for:

• Ages 3–5 (preschool to early kindergarten)

• Parents and caregivers looking for meaningful stories

• Father’s Day, birthday, or bedtime story gifts
