Reading Is My Superpower

📚 Discover why reading is the greatest gift we can give our kids—and how Curly Crow Books is helping children turn curiosity into their first superpower.

By Nicholas Aragon, Author of Curly Crow Books

“Reading is my superpower.”
This simple phrase has shaped everything I do—as a writer, a parent, and a champion for literacy.

When I created Curly Crow Books, I didn’t just want to tell stories. I wanted to give kids something more powerful than any cape or mask—the confidence and joy that comes from being a reader. In every book, every page, and every adventure, I see reading as the key that unlocks curiosity, connection, and courage.

Why Reading Is a Superpower

As a child, I found magic in books. They transported me beyond my surroundings, gave me characters to believe in, and taught me lessons I carry with me to this day.

That’s why I believe reading is the greatest gift a family can give. Here’s why it matters:

🌍 1. Reading Expands Our World

Books allow children to see beyond their daily lives—to understand people, cultures, and experiences different from their own. In Curly Crow’s stories, I weave in the landscapes, traditions, and heart of New Mexico, helping young readers connect with a place that’s rich with history and wonder.

Every child deserves to see themselves in a story—and to step into someone else’s shoes once in a while, too.

❤️ 2. Reading Builds Stronger Bonds

Reading together is one of the most powerful ways to connect as a family. It doesn’t take much—just a few minutes, a shared laugh, a favorite page to revisit.

Curly Crow books are designed for those together moments: bedtime snuggles, classroom read-alouds, or quiet afternoons when a story is exactly what’s needed.

🌱 3. Reading Plants Seeds of Lifelong Learning

Each Curly Crow adventure starts with curiosity—questions, discoveries, and sometimes a bit of mischief. That spark is what keeps kids asking, exploring, and imagining.

Reading isn’t just about letters and sentences. It’s about growing minds and brave hearts.

🌟 What's YOUR Reading Superpower This Month?

Every book in the Curly Crow and Rooger & Loki series centers on a unique superpower—curiosity, kindness, teamwork, empathy, problem-solving, and more.

For example, in our latest release, Rooger and Loki: A Treasure Hunt with Curly Crow, the superpower is collaboration and creative thinking.

We invite families, schools, and kids to ask:
