Inspired by his own grandson, Mark began writing a story about a child discovering that kindness and empathy are powerful superpowers. In a world filled with messages about being stronger, faster, or better, this message feels especially important. On Taking the Helm today, we explore: πŸ’₯ How children who feel unseen can discover their own strengths πŸ’₯ The power of humour, empathy, and kindness in building confidence πŸ’₯ The unique role grandparents and adults can play in nurturing emotional well-being πŸ’₯ Why noticing and valuing every child creates stronger families and communities πŸ’₯ How Milo's story has helped to build a connection between siblings. πŸ’₯ How did Mark and his cousin work together to make publishing Milo's Superpower possible? Mark worked as a doctor specializing in IVF for 32 years. Now retired, Mark’s favorite thing to do is spend time with his two grandsons. He is thrilled to be writing his first children’s book! Β  Mark's co-author is his cousin Justine Perloe. She is a 2nd grade teacher and loves sharing stories with her students! She even shared a very early draft of Milo’s Superpower with them and is so excited to be a part of this project! Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is simply see a child - and help them recognize the superpowers they already have.
