All superheroes are born with a special mission. It sometimes takes years and years for them to receive it. Sometimes, though, superheroes must start their mission as babies.
When baby Cooper is born, he brings light to every heart he touches. His parents celebrate each precious moment, from stroller walks and holidays to cozy days at home. But one day, their little superhero's mission changes. When Cooper becomes sick, he bravely fights with all his might before earning his official superhero cape and flying high into the sky.
Though Cooper can no longer be held in their arms, he soon discovers a brand-new mission: finding ways to let his family know he's still near. From rainbows and feathers to cardinals and butterflies, Super Cooper sends signs from the sky-little reminders of love, comfort, and connection that appear just when his family needs them most. With each colorful message, Cooper shows that even though babies sometimes have to fly away, they're never truly gone. Their love continues to shine through the world around us.
Told with tenderness, hope, and a gentle spiritual touch, Signs from Super Cooper helps families begin to talk about grief and remembrance with young children. Courtney Johnson, inspired by the life and memory of her son, created this heartfelt story as both a healing resource and a legacy of love-a way for parents and children to understand that when we love deeply, those we've lost are never far away. This comforting picture book offers not only solace but also a language of signs, helping children and parents alike recognize that love can cross even the widest sky.
