You might be surprised to learn that you have your very own special superhero mask. In fact, everyone does! When we wear our mask, we see the world in our own unique way. This is called perspective.
In this interactive book, children meet a cast of inspiring characters who guide them through activities and reflections that strengthen empathy, logic and wisdom. Through creative exercises, storytelling and self-discovery, they learn that every perspective adds something valuable, and that understanding others helps us grow into kind, confident and resilient people.
An engaging, accessible guide that helps children not only feel better, but also get better at feeling.
