The Amazing Adventures of Supercat!

A parent might reach for this book when their imaginative child is feeling small in a big world, or needs a humorous example of how perspective can turn fear into fun. This early graphic novel follows Meg, a regular housecat who sees herself as the heroic Supercat. Her daring missions involve battling the fearsome “Thirsty Monster” (a vacuum cleaner) and rescuing her owner from a towering “Tree-Beast” (climbing a small tree). The story is a wonderful celebration of imagination, showing how a strong sense of self can make anyone feel brave and powerful. For young readers graduating to comics, its simple panels and hilarious contrast between fantasy and reality make it a perfect confidence-booster and a joyful read.
