In Ten Steps to Flying Like a Superhero, Lava Boy teaches his superhero action figure, Captain Magma, how to fly in Deb Pilutti's soaring picture book companion to Ten Rules for Being a Superhero. Lava Boy and his favorite toy, Captain Magma, have saved the day many times. But there’s one superhero skill they haven’t mastered yet: the ability to fly. It shouldn’t be too hard for Captain Magma and Lava Boy to figure out. But it’s going to take a new set of rules and some help from the brave Star Girl (and her action figure, Meteor Shower) before these superheroes actually reach new heights. This clever gender inclusive story takes young readers on an adventure—learning lessons in friendship and how to fly like a superhero. Christy Ottaviano Books

A good way to soothe bad days away.” —School Library Journal When Superheroes don’t get their way, when they’re sad, when they’re mad, when they’ve had a bad day . . . . . . they COULD super-tantrum, they COULD but they DON’T, because REAL Superheroes just WOULDN’T—they WON’T! All kids have trouble getting a grip on their emotions, sometimes—even young superheroes! But what do they do when they’re having a bad day?
