Nino\u2019s adventure, which kids can read as literal or imaginary as they will, shows that there are many different ways to be super, like showing empathy, helping others, making new friends, and being gentle. Nino\u2019s character will resonate with kids, capturing a child\u2019s perspective and emotions well. The appealing illustrations are fun and bold, exuding the super energy of the text, and present the whole family with brown skin and straight, black hair.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>A super story for anyone who wants to be a superhero.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And here are the book\u2019s trailers, in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BZSZOReJEP8&amp;autoplay=1&amp;mute=0\">English<\/a>\u00a0and in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xk7nY7acvkk&amp;autoplay=1&amp;mute=0\">French<\/a>, also created by Dawson Illustration students.<\/p>\n<p>The launch will include an interview hosted by Asian \/ Pacific American Award winning author\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.teresarobeson.com\">Teresa Robeson<\/a>, special musical guest Treehouse TV\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/splashnboots.com\">Splash\u2019N Boots<\/a>, and a bilingual teaser reading of the book by Andrew and the book\u2019s French translator Juliana L\u00e9veill\u00e9-Trudel.<\/p>\n<p>The Eventbrite link to the event can be found\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.ca\/e\/i-just-want-to-be-super-age-3-je-suis-super-nino-3-ans-et-tickets-108754509666\">here<\/a>.
