Learn to find your own superpowers with this inspiring journey of self-acceptance
In Superpower, bestselling author Kate Leavell delivers a compelling story of self-love, appreciation, and the power of sharing and connecting with those around us through vulnerability and understanding. In the book, a soccer coach tells his players about the adventures of ‘the new kid’ at school who’s afraid of being teased and bullied. Through the help of a special teacher, he and his classmates learn to overcome challenges and harness the power of seeking to understand new perspectives and viewpoints. The class experiences the power of connection inside the activities during puzzle week, and along with their new student, finds the confidence to embrace their unique traits and appreciate and celebrate the uniqueness in each other.
In Superpower, you’ll find:
* Games to help you discover common interests and get to know those around you on a deeper level
* Exercises to learn about what it means to have different perspectives and learn from the stories of others
* Discussion questions for deeper reflection and for group book studies
An eye-opening and thought-provoking journey through difference, self-acceptance, and understanding, Superpower shows us how to impact the world for good using our very own, built-in superpowers.
