About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when their child is struggling to understand what it means to be caring, especially when it involves putting others' needs before their own fun. In this story, the super-fast Flash wants to play a new video game, but he is repeatedly called on to help his friends and community. He ultimately chooses to lend a hand, discovering that helping others feels even better than winning a game. This book uses the excitement of a popular superhero to model empathy and community responsibility for children ages 4 to 7. It's an excellent choice for reframing heroism as everyday kindness, making a potentially abstract concept feel concrete and cool.
