We love hearing from the parents and grandparents who bring Supercrew into their homes. Here’s one grandma’s story about how reading the books together turned into a cherished tradition.

Dear Team Supercrew,
I wanted to share a little story from my heart. I’ve been lucky enough to spend a lot of time babysitting my granddaughter, and I always look for ways to make our time together special. One afternoon, we tried reading a Team Supercrew book. From the first story, she was completely captivated. The characters made her laugh, the lessons made her think, and I could see her little wheels turning as we talked about bravery, calmness, grit, and kindness.
Soon, it became our ritual. Every time I came over for a visit, she’d run to the bookshelf to grab her favorite stories. We’d curl up together and talk about what the characters were feeling, and, before I knew it, she was sharing her own feelings more openly with me (as much as a 2-year-old can). It amazed me how these books gave her words for the big emotions she was feeling.
Eventually, I realized we needed our own set at my house. I didn’t want her to ever come over and not have her “friends” waiting for her. So I bought the box set, and now we have our own collection ready whenever she visits.
Just recently, I surprised her with the plushies and capes. You should have seen her face! She immediately wanted to put on a cape and re-enact the stories... pretending to be brave like Benny or calm like Chloe. Watching her imagination take off, while also practicing important life skills, has been such a gift. It’s given us even more ways to connect, and it fills me with joy knowing she’s learning how to grow into a confident, resilient little person.
As a grandmother, nothing makes me happier than knowing I’m helping nurture her heart while also making memories she’ll hold onto forever.
With love,
A Very Grateful Grandma (aka Nona)
