About this Book

Super Power Babies have life-changing abilities. When Rachel and Sam Callander were told their daughter Evie had a rare chromosomal condition that would prevent her from walking, talking and even eating solid food, they made a momentous decision. Instead of focusing on all the things she couldn't do, they used a language that celebrated who she was and all the things she could do. They highlighted Evie's magical ability to connect with people and share her joy in life. In her 2-1⁄2 years on earth, Evie taught Rachel, Sam and many others who knew her, to love and communicate in ways they would never have known was possible. Inspired by their time with Evie, Rachel and Sam decided to create a book that celebrated the life-changing powers of other Super Power Babies. Through a crowd-funding campaign and the help of many passionate supporters, Rachel and Sam's book has taken shape. More than 75 families throughout New Zealand have responded, shared their stories and proudly presented their Super Power Babies.
