Wide double page spread introducing Hero Haven: a colorful city or playground filled with diverse kids in capes or imaginative super hero costumes. Sam, centered, surrounded by a faint glowing blue bubble (Thor). Color palette: radiant blues, golds, and bright greens that signal warmth and wonder. Typography: bold, playful font
Hero Haven sparkled as Sam walked along. Thor, her glowing force field, hummed like a friendly bubble. "My space is mine," Sam said. "Please ask first." Thor shimmered, waiting for happy yeses.
Inside Hero Haven’s bright training hall, Sam stands with a firm hand raised as Thor’s shimmering bubble gently bumps Beth back mid-lunge. Beth, cheeks puffed in surprise, balances on one foot beside scattered comic-style mats.
Bouncy Beth rushed in for a surprise hug. "Stop, no thanks," Sam said, standing tall, and Thor gently booped Beth back. Beth nodded. "May I hug?" "High-five instead?" "Yes!"
On the sunny grass field beside Hero Haven, Jay waves a red kickball while Sam, grinning, opens a doorway in Thor’s glimmering shield. Chalk sidelines, playground trees, and long afternoon shadows frame their poised start.
Buddy Jay waved, "Kickball with me?" Sam paused, felt her feelings, then smiled. "Yes, let's play!" Thor shimmered open. "Tag or no tag?" "Feet only, please, and let's score together!"
In the cozy living-room aglow with orange sunset light, Dad kneels open-armed as Sam steps forward, Thor’s bubble parting like curtains around them. A storybook rests on the carpet, warm rays streaking across their smiling faces.
At sunset, Dad knelt with a grin. "Story time hug?" Sam checked in and smiled, "Yes." Thor shimmered around them. "Thanks for asking," Sam said. Real heroes ask, listen, and respect.
