My Super Me: Finding The Courage For Tough Stuff

by Todd Herman, Eevi Jones

Our little hero is growing up in a world that can seem big, loud, and scary. Some people tell him he's too small, too young, or too whatever. But when he puts on his cape and learns to play through the fearless traits of his superhero stuffed animal, Captain Storm, he finds the courage and resilience to show up in a more brave way and ultimately unlocks his heroic self.

This Mom's Choice Awards(R) Gold Recipient captures the big idea nested in the already Wall Street Journal and Publisher's Weekly bestseller, The Alter Ego Effect, from award-winning Performance & Mental Game Coach to Olympians, leaders & public figures, Todd Herman.

What's the big idea? Humans find out what they're made of when they play with the idea of acting through the abilities of someone or something else they admire. And kids are better at it than adults.

Little kids will enjoy following the story of Captain Storm, who makes his way through a maze of adventures and everyday challenges. This fun read will inspire them to believe in themselves and face down tough stuff with more grit.

Powerful message in a children’s book

I have enjoyed Todd’s work and having his message presented in a children’s book is a powerful tool for anyone who has a young person in their life.

Therapy book

My son read this in therapy and his therapist shared the book with me. I downloaded it to read again at bedtime.
