A little girl believes that all superheroes wear capes. They are strong and fast, and they definitely use super gadgets. She knows that 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 that young superhero puts on her X-ray glasses, she can see everything... even the evil villains that her mom battles every day. So, she discovers the true meaning of being a superhero! This book is a true story written by Darcie Naslund, who has lived with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) for over 12 years.
