Super Stella Leads the Way features a young girl named Stella who loves to write about her inner superhero powers—until one day her brother questions whether girls can be superheroes. Can they?

Stella struggles with her outrage and dismay, but she decides to embrace an attitude of kindness and inclusion. She pushes aside any stereotypes that girls can’t do what boys do. She will lead by example and prove that girls can do whatever they set their minds—and powers—to.

A story about overcoming gender stereotypes, empowering through kindness, and cultivating one’s inner superhero, Super Stella Leads the Way is a must-read for all young children, especially girls, who are beginning to learn how their capabilities and accomplishments are affected by their own self-belief.
