❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is Leo and the Golden Spark about?
It is about Leo, a 7-year-old boy who is afraid of the dark. A magic golden spark gives him superpowers, and he uses them to stop a shadow called the Big Gloom from switching off the city’s lights. Along the way, Leo learns that the spark of courage was inside him all along.
What age is this superhero storybook for kids best for?
It is best for ages 4–8. Children ages 4–6 enjoy it as a read-aloud, and children ages 7–8 can read most pages on their own. Each scene is about 70 words long.
How many pages are in the book, and what is included?
This superhero storybook for kids has 60 pages: a front cover, a nameplate page, a Meet the Characters page, 26 story scenes (52 pages), 4 activity pages and a back cover. Every scene pairs one text page with one full-page illustration.
Is this a physical book?
No. This superhero storybook for kids is a digital product, and nothing is shipped. You receive two PDF files by instant download to read on a screen or print.
What is the difference between the Print Edition and the Screen Edition?
The Print Edition keeps every illustration at 300 DPI for the sharpest printed pages (23.1 MB). The Screen Edition is a lighter file that opens faster on tablets and phones (12.1 MB). You get both with one purchase.
Is the story scary for young children?
It is written to be exciting, not frightening. The Big Gloom is drawn as a tall shadow with glowing eyes, and it appears in three pictures. It never hurts anyone, and it ends the story as a sleepy little gray cloud. For a very sensitive child, preview pages 33, 37 and 43 first.
Can this superhero storybook for kids help a child who is afraid of the dark?
It can help you start the conversation. Leo admits he is scared, practices being brave one step at a time and ends the book saying, “Good night, shadows. I’m not scared of you.” It is a story, not a treatment. If a fear disrupts your child’s sleep or daily life, speak with your pediatrician.
Is there fighting or violence in the story?
No. Leo never hits anyone. He blocks a cold wind with a golden shield, shines a light and speaks kindly to the Big Gloom. The little shadows turn into soft puffs of cloud and float away.
Will printing the superhero storybook for kids use a lot of ink?
Yes, a fair amount. Nearly half of the pages are full-color illustrations. For everyday reading, use the Screen Edition. For a keepsake copy, a print shop or photo-book service gives the best result. The 4 activity pages have light backgrounds and print well at home.
Can teachers use it in the classroom?
Yes. One purchase of this superhero storybook for kids covers use with your own class, including printing the activity pages for your students. Please do not share or upload the PDF files for other teachers or families.
How do I download my files after purchase?
Your download links appear on the order confirmation page and in your confirmation email. You can download each PDF up to 5 times, and the links never expire.
