Editorial review
Litus, Super M is a picture book that connects directly with children's logic, combining humor, tenderness, and a subtle reflection on self-esteem. The story, narrated with a fast-paced rhythm and relatable language, makes young readers feel identified with Litus's doubts. Its strong point lies in how it transforms a common concern (wearing glasses) into the origin of a desired superpower, thus promoting a positive view of oneself. It is a recommended read for working on the acceptance of differences and the value of imagination in early childhood.
