THE BACKSTORY

We asked Aviaq Johnston what inspired her to write What’s My Superpower? and here’s what she had to say:

“When I watched a video of my friend's daughter running around with a cape and a cowboy hat, saying ‘I'm a superhero, but I don't know what my superpower is!’ I was inspired to write a book about a girl trying to figure out what she is good at. It reminded me of my childhood, and how much I wanted to have superpowers that others could see. Sometimes, we all need to be reminded that not all superpowers can be seen, and how kindness is just as important of a superpower as super speed or super strength.” -- Aviaq Johnston, author of What’s My Superpower?
