17-year-old Chris Caden has a big secret, and it’s not that their Dad, Andres Caden, is a superhero protecting their city from crime! Nope, it’s that Chris also has a superpower of their own: a supernatural ability to transform into a mythical butterfly heroine! But as an otherworldly danger draws near, Chris’ secret identity won’t be a secret for long, and their new superhero expression will soon become a family matter.
“Kid Chrysalis: Butterfly Warrior” is a coming-of-age superhero graphic novella created to help increase positive Black and LGBTQ+ representation in content for kids and teens, encourage dialogue around transgender experiences, and empower readers with the courage to live unapologetically!
