The FREE digital copy of SuperKids is finally here. This is an interactive activity self-help book for children with chronic illness and is a free tool for mental health providers, teachers, and doctors. It was written by Dr. Janina Scarlet, illustrated by Lora Innes, and lettered by Thom Zahler. This project was a part of the Pop Culture Hero Coalition’s mental health initiative and was created in memoriam of the late Len Wien, the creator of Wolverine, Storm, and many other Marvel superheroes.
