“Whether you’re trying to teach your child empathy for other people’s differences, or have a child who is differently-abled who needs to know they aren’t alone, Super Kena is here to save the day! With a relatable story and charming illustrations, Super Kena is a fantastic story for children and families to enjoy over and over again.”
Leanne CreamerVirtual Assistant and Toddler Mom
"As an elementary school teacher, I am always on the look-out for books that are mirrors and windows for my students. Students need to see themselves in books – books read to them or read by them – to empower themselves. They also need to be able to look out in the world, beyond themselves, to understand other people. This book offers both mirrors and windows. I love how Kena was able to look beyond herself to her classmates who were differently-abled and pull them into a team! Kena is an inspiration! Share this book with your children, grandchildren, neighbors, students, nieces and nephews . . . the list goes on and on. It will make a difference in our world!”
