Every day activities are super!
READ: SUPERHERO GRAN by Timothy Knapman, illustrated by Joe Berger
In this cute story, children recognize the super powers of their Gran—which to them means sleepovers, treats, stories, and disguises. The rhyming text creates a cadence that dances the reader into the everyday world through the eyes of children who see their Gran as nothing less than super.
