In this book, readers join 6-year-old Nylah on her journey of discovering her superpowers. Life as a young bunny rabbit can be tough sometimes, especially for one who just wants to fit in. Nylah doesn’t always like what she sees in the mirror, and at first, she doesn’t realize that everyone is different and that’s what makes her so special.

When Nylah faces challenges in some exciting situations, she discovers and uses her superpowers to save the day! Nylah’s story might help readers find their superpowers, too. Finding Nylah’s Superpowers is a funny, compelling, and accessible story that teaches young children about self-worth, bravery, and celebrating their differences.

Nylah shows kids that they are beautiful, special, and enough – just the way they are. With engaging storytelling and exciting illustrations, kids of all ages will enjoy this book and appreciate its message: It’s okay to be different. Being you is your superpower.

Finding Nylah’s Superpowers is now available in paperback ($15.99) and hardcover ($22.99) on Barnes & Noble and Amazon. Marc Davis, a native of Detroit, Michigan, and a graduate of Western Michigan University, believes in living with love and purpose. His philosophy shines through in this heartwarming and inspiring story that will undoubtedly help young readers discover their superpowers.
