Welcome to Superpower World by Alicia Ortego!

Hi, I’m Alicia Ortego — a mom of two, children’s author, and a big believer in the power of social-emotional learning.

When I wrote Kindness is My Superpower, I was simply trying to help my own kids understand what it means to be kind, grateful, and confident. I wanted to give them stories that made it easier to talk about big feelings, friendships, and the strength we all have inside.

What started as one book turned into something much bigger – a whole collection that has found its way into thousands of homes, classrooms, and libraries around the world.

The stories are simple and relatable, with kid-friendly language and real-life situations — from standing up for yourself to managing worry or learning to be patient.

What matters most to me is that children feel seen, supported, and empowered — just as they are.

That’s why I’m especially grateful that these books are also being used by homeschooling families and educators who support neurodiverse learners — including children with autism, ADHD, sensory sensitivities, and unique ways of learning.

These books don’t promise to solve every challenge. But they do open hearts, spark conversations, and help all children feel a little more understood.

Thanks so much for being here. I’m honored to be part of your journey.
