Discovering Courage for Difficult Challenges: My Super Me

Growing up in a world that can seem big, loud, and scary, our little hero finds courage and resilience in the fearless traits of his superhero stuffed animal, Captain Storm. Some people may tell him he's too small, too young, or too whatever, but when he puts on his cape and learns to play through Captain Storm's abilities, he unlocks his own heroic self.

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

Little kids will enjoy following the story of Captain Storm as he 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.
