The Children's Book Review: Growing Readers Podcast Bianca with Faith Abraham and Family on Superhero Faith
In this episode, I talk with child-author Faith Abraham and her family about Faith's picture book, Superhero Faith.
We talk about how when Mama (her grandmother) was diagnosed with breast cancer, she was inspired to create a story with the help of her mom. This book, Superhero Faith, is a demonstration of ways a young child can support a family member in need.
Faith is creative, curious, adventurous, and loves life. She enjoys learning new languages (French and Spanish), reading, making music, experimenting in Mad Science, studying jiu-jitsu (she is in ninja training), and being outside. Faith is loving, caring, and kind, and loves dreaming up her next adventure with her grandma and her dog, Sparkle.
