• It wasn't super engaging (not the way her Mermaid book was!)
  

 

 

Page 83 - "Empathy is a superpower. Caring is a superpower. Courage is a superpower!"

(Crystal Warrior talking to the real life super hero group.)

Page 309 - "'Here's what I think,' she said. 'It's hard to be a human. Sometimes it helps to say it out loud. Ask for what you need. If you let things slide for too long, they can pile up and get really heavy.'"

(The school counselor, Mrs. Pryor, talking to Zinnia and her mom.)
