The mission of Ultimate 5 Squad is to help children know that they matter, and help them know they can make a big difference in the world! We show children they don't need to be "special" in order to be a hero. They need to take action!

Reading our stories and going through our activities, help fortify children's belief in their abilities to make a meaningful difference in their lives and in the lives of others.

Lesson 1

You don’t need special powers to be a hero. You also don't need to be a superhero to make a positive change in the world. The decision to act is what superheroes have in common. They put fear aside and do the right thing.

Lesson 2

With teamwork, anything is possible. When teamwork is applied, it fosters friendship, trust and loyalty. Teamwork helps take a big, possible task and chop it up into bite size solutions.

Lesson 3

Black characters can be the main heroes of a story. It’s important that children see characters of all backgrounds as main characters and even heroes of a story. It helps children have more respect for their fellow mankind.

Lesson 4

Don’t give up or get overwhelmed by obstacles. There’s a solution to all problems. It may take us a while to solve some obstacles but with persistence and teamwork it’s possible.

"As an educator I see it everyday how important it is for kids to believe in themselves. They need the tools to get them through tough moments. I designed the Ultimate 5 Squad action book & coloring book to boost children's confidence and help them think BIG.

I want to inspire that in kids to become their own superhero all across the world!"
