In a small town where winter is longer than summer, a little girl named Nana lived with her mom. Nana loved her town because she could play hide and seek, tag, and street hockey on the quiet roads. She also loved riding her bike without worrying about cars.
One day, Nana told her mom, “If I had a superpower, I could fight big monsters!” Her mom smiled and said, “Maybe you will have a superpower someday.”
Nana always dreamed about having superpowers. She wore a yellow cape made from a blanket and snowmobiling goggles on her head everywhere she went.
On the first day of school, Nana saw a boy named D run super fast in gym class. He was faster than anyone else! Nana told him, “You have a superpower! You can run faster than a Skidoo!” D was very happy to hear that.
When Nana went home, she told her mom about D. “He was like the wind on a blizzardy day!” she said. Nana wondered if she could have a superpower too.
Another day, Nana saw her friend M swinging so high that it looked like she might fly. When M jumped off the swing, she landed far away. Nana told her, “You can fly!” M was thrilled.
At home, Nana tried jumping off the couch to see if she could fly like M. Her mom said, “I don’t think flying is your superpower, but we’ll find out what it is soon.”
One snowy day, Nana and her friends went sledding. Her cousin Janas was building amazing snow sculptures at the top of the hill. He made animals, snowmen, and even an igloo!
Nana asked Janas, “Is it your superpower to make things?” Janas said, “Yes, I can build anything!” Nana was amazed and told her mom about Janas’s superpower.
Nana tried building with her blocks and Legos, but it was hard. Her mom hugged her and said, “We’ll figure out your superpower soon.”
In the summer, Nana met a boy named Otomy who could hold his breath underwater for a long time. Nana told him, “That must be your superpower!” Otomy was happy to hear that.
Nana was happy for her friends, but she still wondered about her own superpower. One day, she asked her mom, “Will I ever find out what my superpower is?”
Her mom smiled and said, “I think I know what your superpower is.” Nana was excited and asked, “What is it?”
Her mom hugged her and said, “Your superpower is making people feel good about themselves.” Nana smiled and thought, “That’s a good superpower to have.”

In a small house in the middle of a small town where winter is always longer than summer, a little girl named Nana lived with her mother. Nana loved everything about her small town: the quiet roads with lots of space to play hide and seek, tag, and street hockey. She loved riding her bike without worrying about cars coming down the road like big monsters.
One day, Nana said to her mother, “If I had a superpower, I could fight big monsters.”
“Yes,” her mother replied, stroking Nana’s hair.
“Do you think I’ll ever have a superpower?” Nana asked.
“I don’t know, but maybe,” her mother said with a smile.
Nana always thought about what it would be like to have superpowers. Everywhere she went, she wore a yellow cape made from a blanket and a pair of snowmobiling goggles resting on her head.
On the first day of school, Nana was in gym class when a boy named D ran into the gym so quickly he was just a blur. All the other kids tried to race him, but he was faster than anyone in the class.
“You have a superpower!” Nana excitedly told him. “You can run faster than a Skidoo!”
“Do you think that’s true?” D asked her, beaming.
“I know it’s true,” said Nana, “but I wonder what my superpower is.”
When she went home after school, she told her mom all about D. “He was so fast he almost burned the floor of the gym!” Nana said. “He was like the wind on a blizzardy day.”
“Wow, he really must have super speed,” her mother replied.
“If D has a superpower, does that mean I can have a superpower too?” Nana asked.
“I’m sure we will find out soon,” her mom said.
Nana imagined herself flying in the sky, talking to animals, or even breathing underwater. The days began to grow colder, but that did not stop Nana from going to the playground to play with her friends.
One day, Nana saw her friend M swinging so high that it looked like she was going to loop around the swing set. Nana and her friends all stared at M, amazed. Then suddenly, M flew from the swing and landed far away. Nana was sure that M had flown through the air.
“You can fly!” Nana said.
M smiled widely. “Really?” she asked.
“Of course!” Nana said. “If you keep practicing, someday you’ll be able to fly all the way around the world.”
When Nana went home that day, she told her mom about the amazing flying girl she had seen at the playground.
“She was flying?” her mom asked.
“Well, she was jumping very far,” Nana explained, “but I think she’ll be able to fly for real if she keeps trying.”
Nana started jumping around the house, off the couch and the tables, trying to see if she could be like M.
“I don’t think your superpower is flying,” her mom said, “but don’t worry, we’ll figure out what your special talent is soon.”
The next day, Nana and her friends brought their sleds to the big hill next to their school to go sliding. Nana’s cousin Janas was already at the top of the hill building an inuksuk. All across the top of the hill, there were snow sculptures of animals and snowmen, and even a whole igloo.
“Janas, did you make these?” Nana asked.
“Yep,” he said. “All of them, even that polar bear right there. It was easy.”
“Wow! What else can you make?” she asked.
“Anything! I can make a caribou and maybe even a monkey. I can make things out of rocks and even ice.”
“Is it your superpower to make things?” Nana asked. “Can you build whatever you can think of?”
“Yep,” he replied. “I can build anything.”
“Wow, cool!” Nana told her mom all about Janas’s superpower.
“Bunik, didn’t you know that Janas’s dad has that superpower too? Janas is going to be a carver just like his father.”
“Does that mean I might have that superpower too?” Nana asked. “I’ve never tried to build anything before.”
“Why don’t you try it out?” her mom said.
Nana tried to build an inuksuk out of her blocks, but it fell over. She tried to make a house out of her Legos, but it was too hard. She sighed, “I guess it’s not my superpower.”
Her mom hugged her tight. “I’m sure we’ll figure it out soon.”
Nana kept finding friends who had superpowers whenever she went out to play. When she went swimming in the summer, she met a boy named Otomy who could hold his breath underwater longer than anyone else.
They were playing games in the water, and Nana wanted to see who could hold their breath the longest. She thought she had been under the water for minutes, but after she ran out of breath and came up to the surface, Otomy stayed underwater for much longer.
When he finally came up, Nana said, “You can hold your breath for a really long time! That must be your superpower.”
“Do you think so?” Otomy said.
“I know so,” Nana said.
“Cool,” Otomy said. “It’s like I’m half fish.”
Nana was happy for her friends; they had all found the things they were good at. She liked to tell them they had superpowers, and she liked to see them smile. They all seemed so happy to have a special talent, but Nana wished she knew what her superpower was.
One day, Nana said when she came home from school, “I still don’t know what my superpower is. Am I ever going to figure it out?”
Her mom gave her a big smile. “I think I know what your superpower is,” she said.
Nana looked up at her mom, excited but confused. “What is it? Can I fly like M or am I really strong?”
“No, Bunik, can’t you see?” her mother asked as she hugged Nana close. “Your superpower is making people feel good about themselves.”
Nana smiled. “I think that’s a good superpower to have.”
