"Are we there yet?", "How much longer?".

You've probably heard it countless times. Kids are impatient, but it's our job to teach them that waiting is worth it.
Waiting is not easy, especially for children.

Little Dan is an eight-year-old boy who likes to do many things besides waiting. When he finds out that he has to wait a whole week until he visits his grandparents, Dan becomes upset and very impatient. But through interacting with his grandparents, little Dan will learn that he can do and learn many things while he waits.
He will realize that waiting can produce delicious morsels like grandma's pie or even new life like a chicken hatching from an egg.

"Patience is my superpower" is a children's book about patience containing beautiful illustrations and charming rhymes.

It will help your little ones:

to turn the waiting into a time full of fun and productive activities,
to deal with their impulses and to control their reactions,
to understand that after waiting, some amazing things can happen,
to understand that waiting is an integral part of everyday life.

***
You’ll be amazed how many things you can learn while you wait.
***

Teach your children the importance of patience.

This fun picture book can be the first step towards your goal. Your kids will enjoy reading this story as they identify with little Dan and his daily struggles. This book is suitable for all ages and anyone who works with children.

Sweet story that weaves the theme of patience throughout

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on September 4, 2022

This is a simple book that integrates the theme of patience throughout the story and that some of the best things happen when we wait. It is written in rhyme which makes it even more engaging for young children. I’m excited to read this book to my students. I recommend this book and others in Ortego’s “Superpower” series.

GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 29, 2022

This is Book 7 in a series which is devoted to teaching children how to control their impulses. It is written in rhyme. Some of these work better than others.

Dan is eagerly anticipating a visit to his grandparents house. He just cannot wait. School seems to drag, the car ride is too long, and then every part of the visit seems to bring more waiting.

Dan's mom and grandparents offer suggestions to use each waiting time productively. By the end of the visit, perhaps Dan has a better strategy for becoming patient.

The book is useful for primary grade children who "just can't wait."

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 1, 2022

This is an engaging and very optimistic book about patience!!
It’s a book I can relate to and I’m sure every reader can as well!

We have young Dan who is about eight years old and is told he gets to visit his grandma and grandpa but he has to wait a week that includes five school days!

In school he’s daydreaming about his grandma‘s pie! Once the day arrives to drive to grandma and grandpa‘s house, he has a hard time in the car because it’s such a long drive. Thankfully his mother knows some good games to play in the car and the ride goes by very quickly.

The author weaves along the storyline different situations using tools to cope with being patient for a an event to happen.

Also the author does a nice job once that event does happen, embracing that event fully. Dan enjoys his grandparents playing chess with his grandpa and eating his grandma‘s delicious pie!

The illustrations flow along with the storyline nicely and are pleasant and colorful to look at. The rhythm of the writing is pleasant to read as well. The concepts in the book are easy to understand for a young reader or listener.

I have read all the superpower story books in this series. They are all wonderful! I recommend them highly. I think it’s so important to teach our children a variety of values, gaining skills and coping tools to live life fully.

Patience is a good thing

I’ve read several of Alicia Ortego’s superpower books and they’re all not only cute, but they teach a lesson.

Dan doesn’t like waiting especially when he finds out he has to wait a week to see his grandparents! His granny explains that it’s important to be patient. She uses good examples such as having Dan take a bite of a fruit that isn’t ripe yet. She tells him we need to wait until it’s ripe.

Patience is my Superpower is a fun book to read, it has great illustrations, and it’s told in rhymes. Not only does it explain the importance of being patient, but it gives parents a lot of ideas of things for children to do while they’re waiting.

Not really well-written… 😬

I hate to be so harsh, but I was really disappointed in this story. From typos to awkward/lame rhymes, it was a letdown. I feel like a jerk doing a literary criticism of a children’s poem, but maybe it’s worth sharing my two cents. Womp womp.

Dont like that it uses the word hate.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 16, 2023

Verified Purchase

The book illustratations on one page don’t match what is written.
Also using the word hate is a personal dislike. I don’t like teaching kids to loosely use that word.
