The Real World Is Stranger Than Fiction
Children love superheroes. They don’t always know that real animals have powers just as astonishing, and that every one of them is backed by science.
A tiny water bear survives boiling, freezing and outer space. A jellyfish grows young instead of old. These aren’t fairy tales; they’re living creatures on our planet right now.
Wonder First, Science Second
Each of the 16 chapters reads like a bedtime story, inviting children to close their eyes and imagine having the gift. Then a Superhero Spec Sheet gives the real data and science behind it.
A glossary explains the scientific terms, and Field Notes pages let young readers record discoveries of their own. Children aged 6 to 8 can enjoy it as a read-aloud, 8 to 11 as independent reading, and 11 to 14 can dig into the science sections.

From the author
Why I Wrote What If You Had Impossible Gifts?
I’m Ujjwal Ganesh, father of two daughters who love asking “What if?” I wanted a book where wonder and real science sit side by side, so the amazement lasts after the lights go out.
As the book says: “You are a creature with impossible gifts too.”
