The Story

A little fly who can already walk on walls, see in every direction, and fly keeps a diary of her big dream: becoming a full-fledged superhero, alongside best friends Worm and Spider.

Why It's Special

For the kid who's convinced they're secretly superpowered already, this gives their confidence a name and a diary to prove it.

  • Big idea: Being small doesn't mean you can't dream enormous — the powers you already have might be more super than you realize.
  • Vibes: Funny, buoyant, and matter-of-fact about the absurd, with a diary format that feels like it's letting kids in on a secret.

Perfect For Kids Who

  • enjoy journal or diary-style storytelling
  • like to imagine themselves with superpowers
  • love bug and creepy-crawly humor
  • respond well to stories told through a bug's-eye view of everyday life

Ask Your Little Reader

  • Imagination: If you could see in every direction at once like Fly, what would you want to look at first?
  • Story & problem-solving: What powers does Fly already have that make her think she could be a superhero?
  • Friendship: What do you think Worm and Spider like best about being Fly's friends?
  • Real-life connection: What's something small about you that actually feels pretty super?
  • Imagination: What would you write about in your own diary if you kept one for a whole week?
