What's My Superpower?

By Aviaq Johnston and Tim Mack

Nalvana feels like all of her friends have some type of superpower. She has friends with super speed (who always beat her in races), friends with super strength (who can dangle from the monkey bars for hours), and friends who are better than her at a million other things. Nalvana thinks she must be the only kid in town without a superpower. But then her mom shows Nalvana that she is unique and special, and that her superpower was right in front of her all along.

Many superheroes have alter egos, the people they are when they are not out fighting evil. That is how we know superheroes but what if their superpowers were out in the open for everyone to see. What if everyone knew they were superheroes and they were celebrated for it? In What's My Superpower by Aviaq Johnston and Tim Mack, Nalvana recognizes superpowers in all of her friends. There's Davidee with super speed and Maata who can fly so high she reaches the clouds, and Joanasie who has the power to build anything he can imagine. It seems all of Nalvana's friends have super powers but her. So what is her superpower? In this beautiful story about seeing the differences in each other and what makes us unique and special, Aviaq Johnston shows us that we all have superpowers. The little things we do everyday make us superheroes to someone. It's such a wonderful story about embracing each other and recognizing the superhero in everyone. Aviaq Johnston includes manyl Inuktitut words adding the beauty of the story. Tim Mack's illustrations are vivid and captivating making What's My Superpower? a book that just jumps off the shelves.
