“My boys seem to always want things perfect. They get upset when they color outside of the lines and sad if they make someone else feel bad. I would love to be able to show them that even the best of the best make mistakes. Hopefully this would help them see what to do when they mess up. I did have to explain what was happening in the story, but that gave us time to ask questions and relate it to things my boys could understand.”

“I love how diverse the superheroes are in the illustrations, and the fantastic message about how to approach dealing with mistakes you've made, with both examples of how TO deal with them and HOW NOT TO deal with them... even if that may seem like the natural or easier way.”
