Reading Is My Superpower
Celebrate Literacy. Inspire Confidence. Build a Movement.
By Nicholas Aragon, Author & Founder 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
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.
❤️ 2. Reading Builds Stronger Bonds
Reading together is one of the most powerful ways to connect as a family. 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 highlights a unique superpower—curiosity, kindness, teamwork, empathy, problem-solving, and more.
📘 In our latest release, Rooger and Loki: A Treasure Hunt with Curly Crow, the featured superpower is collaboration and creative thinking.
