Nalvana feels like all of her friends have some type of superpower. She has friends with super speed (who always beat her in races), friends with super strength (who can dangle from the monkey bars for hours), and friends who are better than her at a million other things. Nalvana thinks she must be the only kid in town without a superpower. But then her mom shows Nalvana that she is unique and special, and that her superpower was right in front of her all along.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Nalvana is a bundle of creativity, spunk, and determination―readers will be happy to know her.”―Kirkus Reviews



“. . . [A] book kids will clamor to read, even as they learn terms like ‘anaana’, ‘inuksuk’, and ‘panik’. That’s its superpower.”―School Library Journal



“. . . [W]ell-written, [and] heart-warming . . .”―Quill & Quire



“. . . Nalvana’s superpower is not one of the athletic or other overt skills that are normally so admired in our current society...Aviaq Johnston has made her story one of inclusivity, not exclusivity.”―CanLit for Little Canadians



“Overall, what a lovely, heart-warming picture book! Nalvana’s story is one of sharing kindness, holding onto one’s own kernels of hopefulness and determination, and the excitement in finding your own happy and cool discovery along the way.”―Fab Book Reviews



“. . . [A] very sweet story that encourages children to rethink how they evaluate success . . .”―The Book Wars



“. . . [A] fine story of self-inspection.”―Midwest Book Review

    This is a wonderful story about a little girl who sees everyone else's good qualities as their superpowers but has trouble seeing her own. This story is great to use with students in the classroom. I read it to my students and we had an powerful discussion afterwards about their "superpowers" and were so excited to draw themselves as as the heroine in the story to wrap up our lesson. I highly recommend this book as a must for your classroom library or as a gift to a child you know. I recommend this for ages 4 - 10 years.

    Nelvana is a sweet, feisty young girl who lives in a small village in the Arctic with her mother. Every day she dons her cape and some rustic snowmobiling goggles and transforms into a super hero. But wait... superheroes have magical powers don't they? Nelvana can't pinpoint what power she possesses. What's hers she ponders?

    She envies her friends Davidee who "can run faster than a Ski-Doo, Maata who swings so high she can almost fly up to the the sky and Adamie who can hold his breath underwater longer than anyone else, just to name a few. Poor Nelvana she longs to have a superpower all her own. Does she even possess one she wonders? She becomes frustrated and despondent trying to search for the magic inside of her ... what is her special power?

    Finally, in tears, she crawls up on her loving Mother's lap who tells her daughter she thinks she knows exactly what Nelvana needs to hear. "Your superpower is making people feel good about themelves." It is her unique and special power that was right before her all along. Contented at long last Nalvana smiles and responds, "I think that's a good superpower to have. "

    The illustrations are simply wonderful. They are full of action, emotion and very kid-friendly. The author has included a small Inuktitut Glossary at the back for the readers consisting of four words. I love that the hero is a girl touting imagination, spunk and especially kindness to all her friends. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would heartily recommend it.

    This is a great book for discussing children's super abilities and it ties into the First Nations culture as it is written about a young girl from Nunavut.

    This is a wonderful book for introducing indigenous culture but also in helping kids build themselves up. We love reading this together and imagining what our own superpowers would be.

    As an Inuk, its a very special experience to read books by Inuit authors. This one is no exception. This is the second book by Aviaq and I look forward to reading her third!
