Superheroes wear capes. They're strong and fast, and they definitely use super gadgets! The little girl in this book knows her mom is NOT a superhero because she has no cape. She is not strong. She can’t run fast—in fact, she walks with a cane. But when the girl puts on her X-ray glasses, she can see everything... even the evil villains that her mother battles every day. Upon discovering that some superheroes are fighting invisible battles, she learns just how strong her mom is and how she can help her.
This book is based on the experiences of its author Darcie Naslund, who has lived with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) for over 12 years.
