Frankie has a special superpower and she’s proud to use it when she needs to in Boundaries Are My Superpower by Maddi Krieger.
It all started when Frankie goes to her grandfather’s birthday party. Although she knew some of the people there, others she wasn’t as familiar with. This included her Great Aunt Louise, who she hasn’t seen since she was an infant. When her mom told her to give Great Aunt Louise a hug, Frankie’s superpower kicked in as she felt extremely uncomfortable with the request. She yelled “Stop!” and her great aunt stopped approaching her. Instead, Frankie offered her a high five. From that moment on, Frankie realized she was in control and could use her superpower of boundaries whenever she felt uncomfortable.
This reviewer found this storyline to be very unique for young readers to learn from. By witnessing how Frankie handled a very uncomfortable situation, young readers will also learn that they, too, can set boundaries when they feel uncomfortable in certain situations.
The illustrations provided by Travis LaRiviere were found on every page and were full-page spreads. The colors were very vibrant and vivid in each picture and definitely complemented the story that was written. Travis LaRiviere is a professional designer, painter, illustrator and creative extraordinaire. His passion lies in traditional art forms, particularly oil painting.
Quill says: Boundaries Are My Superpower by Maddi Krieger is one children’s story that will teach young readers that it is okay to set boundaries when you feel uncomfortable. Plus, the illustrations perfectly tell the story in picture format.
