Do you really need powers to be a hero? Meet Max. He's got giant googly eyes, boots that go clomp, clomp, clomp, and a cape full of holes. Max was mighty-until one Monday morning when his powers disappeared. No whoosh. No zap. Just one big CRASH! But when his town needs him most, Max discovers that being a hero isn't about powers at all-it's about courage, kindness, and heart. Max and the Missing Powers is a warm, uplifting picture book for little heroes everywhere. Perfect for ages 3-7, it's a story filled with sound effects to shout along with, playful humor, and a message that will stay with kids long after storytime ends. As a father of three, I wrote this book to remind children that they don't need to be the fastest, the strongest, or the flashiest to be mighty. They only need to be themselves. At the back of the book, you'll also find a special "Questions for Little Heroes" page-fun prompts you can share with your child, like "What caused Max's yellow teeth?" -designed to spark giggles, conversation, and imagination. A perfect gift for bedtime, classrooms, and every little hero learning that true strength comes from within.
