It's Superhero Day at school, and Milly can’t wait to wow everyone with her costume and amazing powers! The only problem is she can’t actually fly, climb buildings, or create force fields. But when Superhero Day doesn’t go to plan, Milly realizes she only needs her superkindness to save the day!
A show of everyday superpowers. . . . Milly knows that real superheroes have X-ray vision or can climb buildings, and starts to feel dejected that a costume doesn’t bestow those same powers. But the slings and arrows of a typical school day give Milly a lot of opportunities to shine in the bright, kid-friendly illustrations. . . this will be useful for teachers and parents looking for resources to inspire small acts of kindness.
—Kirkus Reviews

In bright digital illustrations, Milly’s classmates run into difficulty during the day: William forgets his costume; Flora suffers from writer’s block; Archie needs green paint. Milly solves one problem after another—Bam! Kaboom! Zap!—in this encouraging tale.
