Introducing the perfect first book for your child's journey with Jesus— the story of the superhero of all superheroes, sent by God.

This book introduces young children to the unshakable truth that Jesus is their personal hero—someone who loves them, and someone who will be with them always to provide calm and strength.

The book offers an additional six pages filled with rich, engaging discussion ideas, prayers, and fun, inspiring information designed to make Jesus' love and life feel real and present in your child's life. These activities help turn the reading experience into a cherished nightly custom, creating moments of calm, connection, and faith. With each prayer and idea, your child will learn how to turn to Jesus in times of joy and need, understanding that He is always there, offering love and peace.

The perfect gift for any occasion—Christmas, Easter, birthdays, baptisms, Sunday school, and homeschooling. Whether you're looking for a meaningful Christmas or Easter gift, a beautiful baptism present, or a thoughtful addition to a Sunday school curriculum, this book is a wonderful introduction to Jesus. It's also an excellent resource for homeschool families who want to nurture their child's faith in a fun, interactive way.

This beautifully crafted illustrated book was brought to life by sisters Amanda and Stephanie. Stephanie's gentle and soulful storytelling paired with Amanda's vibrant, compelling illustrations make this a book that is not only educational but also deeply heartwarming. As their first book, this project is a testament to their faith and love for sharing Jesus with young children.


Stephanie Unale lives in the Verde Valley in Arizona with her two young boys and husband. They enjoy being outside, playing board games together and spending time with friends and family. She is the author of My Favorite Superhero.

When she was young, she certainly didn't know about a personal relationship with Him. After finding Jesus later in life, she now has a passion for helping little ones connect with Jesus, presenting Him as a true friend—someone to talk to, lean on, and draw strength from.

While she's new to writing, Stephanie hopes to write more books with similar themes, helping children see Jesus in an exciting new light and offering tools for emotional regulation through Jesus and the Fruits of the Spirit.

While doing research for emotional regulation techniques, Stephanie found many different resources helpful and wanted to put all of her findings in one place to help parents in much less time. She and Sheri Leigh Myers created Loving Discipline based on your Child's Brain Development, a course for parents and grandparents to navigate behavior challenges and provide strategies to help calm young minds and teach rather than punish, based on brain science.

"His strongest superpower is how much He LOVES you! In Stephanie Unale's My Favorite Superhero, young readers can follow the story of Jesus through the eyes of one extremely bright star who witnessed it all.The story traces Jesus' life from when he was born and God made the stars in the sky shine brighter to show that Jesus is His Son. During his growing-up years, Jesus showed compassion for others, reaching out to a poor family without food and helping an older man repair his broken cart. When he was a young man, Jesus was baptized to show his love for his Father in Heaven. That's when God gave him his superpowers, and Jesus used them to do good for others, like feeding a multitude of thousands with only a few loaves and two fish. We all know how the story ends, but it doesn't end, as it continues to this day with a superhero that looks after us every day.Stephanie Unale's picture book, My Favorite Superhero: Teaching Little Ones About Jesus, is an engaging and entertaining way to retell the greatest story ever told. The language is simple so young readers can easily follow along and improve their reading skills. The illustrations by Amanda Kunkel are bright, bold, and colorful and add another dimension to an already wonderful story.At the end of the book, the author has included some informative and interactive pages." — Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers' Favorite
