story & photography by tami molinaro
This book is dedicated to my son, Max and his super sidekick cousins, Saverio & Kieran. I hope to see all three of you take to new heights in life to achieve wild success! I love you more than you can ever imagine! Love, Tami
Max, Saverio & Kieran are three young boys with big hearts. On Christmas, they excitedly opened their gifts to find shiney new superhero capes and masks.
The boys rushed to put on their new costumes & quickly started to discover thier new powers. Saverio, the oldest of the boys, became a super builder! He could build contraptions for any use.
Kieran found he had brute strength & could smash large objects with ease.
Saddened, Max stood alone because he couldn’t figure out his super power. He declared, “I must be invisible!” But when he stood in front of a mirror, his reflection was clearly seen. “I know! It must be speed! I’m fast as lightening!” But he quickly disovered he couldn’t run and faster than before. “Maybe I don’t have any powers,” he said as he sulked off to think some more.
Suddenly, a loud crash was heard from nearby. A giant evil robot was marching it’s way down the street towards them, destroying everything in it’s path.
Saverio commanded his blocks to build a jail around the robot
...but it burst through the walls!
Kieran lept into battle, smashing the robot & breaking it into many pieces, but it pulled back together and fixed itself!
Max didn’t know what to do because his powers were still unknown. He knew he needed to help his cousins & save the town, so he ran at the robot with everything he had when suddenly....
his feet lifted off the ground & he found himself flying! His super power was flight!
“Come on, guys! We can do this! Lets work together to beat this robot!” Max exclaimed as he flew around the robot, tying him up with a strong cable. Kieran joined in and began smashing apart the robot’s feet & legs while Saverio built block boxes around the broken parts.
Before they knew it, the evil robot had been beat! They learned that while each boy was super in his own right, they were greater when they worked together.
Max figured out that his real super power was leadership & that leading could be more fun that following the crowd.
