Super Cooper Debbie Canada

Sometimes a story is just a story.

But occasionally, a real-life event inspires a story that holds deeper meaning.

Brady's is one such story.

This young boy is playing in the backyard, when a glimmering, yellow leaf catches his eye. Knowing his mother's favorite color is yellow, he goes for the leaf, but the wind lifts it and carries it into the woods. Brady keeps his eyes locked on the leaf and pays no attention to where he's going or to the fact that he no longer knows where he is. He catches the leaf for his mother, but he has no idea how to get back to her.

This is when Brady discovers that someone is looking out for him...a tiny someone in a tiny red cape, who looks an awful lot like Brady. Who is this miniature super hero, and can he help Brady find his way home again?

Much more than a story, this tale touches on the important parts of life-love, security, family-that difficult times require. It illuminates the power of simple gestures, like thoughtful gifts and hugs. And it reminds us that there are people, maybe even super heroes, watching over us.
