Storybox Playlist: Not All Superheroes Wear Capes
Superheroes come in all shapes and sizes — even though we are all led to believe they are muscled, cape-wearing phenoms with superior skill. You don’t have to be able to fly to be a superhero. All you need is a little kindness shared with all to help make the world a better place. And guess what? Everyone can do that. Don’t you think?
Get inspired by the stories about the unselfish kindness of Calamity Jane and EB Herz, the camaraderie within the Junkyard crew as they work together to help each animal find happiness, and the joy of Martin and Sylvia when they choose to help out. All of these characters are superheroes in their own right, and you are too. Every single day.
Happy listening.
