Thank you to NetGalley and Royalty & Pain for the advance electronic copy of this title in exchange for an honest review.

This is the kind of book that I hope schools will adopt for Everybody Reads and Social Development. It first caught my eye because I had just been talking about fidget spinners with a young autistic client. He explained how it was something that helped him calm down.

Ceron uses his spinner to travel wherever he needs to go to spread help and kindness. Is he really a superhero? Is he a neurodivergent boy who travels in his imagination? Does it matter?

This book spreads the message that there are still people in the world who believe in helping others. Ceron has a strong family, though they definitely have their own troubles. He knows he has adults who care about him, and he wants to help take care of them as well.

This book has gorgeous illustrations, finely detailed pencil drawings. It must be seen, but it should also be read aloud, for the power in the spoken word. Reading silently, I didn't notice the rhymes until halfway through!

Based on his bedtime, I'm guessing Ceron is in elementary school, but this would be an awesome bedtime story for a pretty good range of ages, especially for kids finding themself in certain circumstances.

Highly recommend!

This is a short children’s fiction book about a boy with superpowers which he uses for good.
He visits his loved ones during the night to give them hope, peace and love. The message is to remember that everyone can make a difference.

It took me a minute to work out whether it was a poetry book or not. After the first page, a lot was rhyme. I think children would like to spot that.

I would read it at bedtime to my children.
