Imagination becomes a first step toward connection

Jasmine’s imagined superhero gives her a way to picture herself as brave, even when joining in feels daunting. The story connects nighttime tales and drawing with a day out at the park, where her grandfather’s invitation puts that imagined courage to a real-world test. A possible new friendship brings the question into focus: can Jasmine move from watching play to taking part? The book centers on shyness, imaginative play, intergenerational companionship, and the small act of approaching someone new.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 exploring shyness, confidence, or making a new friend
  • Families seeking a picture book about imaginative play and time with a grandparent

Book overview

A shy girl spends a special day with her grandfather discovering the action superhero inside her in a vivid celebration of imagination and play.

Jasmine prefers to blend in with the background. She peeks while others play and hides behind her big glasses. But when her grandpa reads stories to her at night, she dreams of adventure, and a new character--Action Jasmine--comes alive in her art. Action Jasmine isn't scared, Action Jasmine is brave and saves the day. When her grandpa challenges her to join him on in adventure in the park, Jasmine is petrified (code for "super scared") that is until she remembers they can go incognito (code for "so sneaky, no one even knows who you are"). But when Jasmine spies a boy playing by himself, can she find the courage to break out of her shell, start some action, and make a new friend?
