Sebastian Discovers His Superpower! is a gentle, empowering picture book for sensitive kids who notice more than most. When Sebastian tells his Nana he's been seeing glowing, person-shaped "bubbles," she explains that he's seeing spirit-love and memory that live on-and shows him simple ways to feel safe and in control. With tools like a "light shield" and a firm "Wall of Light," Sebastian learns to set boundaries, handle teasing at school, and celebrate what makes him unique.
Along the way, Nana reminds him that everyone has a superpower-bravery like firefighters, patience like teachers, calm focus like pilots-and that kindness might be the greatest of all.
Perfect for families, counselors, and classrooms, this story opens up compassionate conversations about intuition, emotions, and self-acceptance.
