From a bestselling illustrator, this utterly unique comic-style book for kids 4 to 8 explores super-small creatures with astounding abilities.

Did you know that some of the smallest creatures on Earth have real-life superpowers?

The minute oribatid mite can lift more than 1,000 times its own weight. A tiny type of salamander (called an axolotl) can regrow body parts. And the almost microscopic tardigrade? It can survive practically anywhere, even in outer space! Acclaimed author Tiffany Stone combines comic panels and poems to share incredible facts about our world's miniature marvels, while illustrator Ashley Spires' zany cartoon-style illustrations make these itty-bitty superheroes (and supervillains) pop from the page.

From glow-in-the-dark sharks to immortal jellyfish and tiny cats with lethal aim, Super Small shows readers that just because you are small, it doesn't mean you aren't super—and sometimes being small can be super in and of itself.

What reviewers said

"I can see this volume being used to practice inference (ask students to identify the creature’s superpower from the poem) or to model how to draw a cartoon about an animal’s unique characteristic. Additionally, I can see these poems and comics being enjoyed by young readers as they learn some very fascinating animal facts."
Kiss the Book Jr.
"The focus in this poetry collection is on superpowers in tiny packages. Stone sings the praises of each... and Spires gives these peewee powerhouses confident looks to match the breezy tone and adds clever touches... Small wonders."
Kirkus STARRED Review
"Super cute, illuminating... the illustrations have an instant glossy appeal... [and with] giggle-grabbing verse."
