"My mom can do a lot of things," Marta said. "Oh yes? What's up? "Paul asked. And that's how it all started. In kindergarten class, Marta and Paul rave about their mothers, who can do everything and are so fantastic. The mothers are getting madder and madder and the kids louder and louder, until both finally exclaim: "My mom is a SUPERHERO!" When the two are picked up from kindergarten, it's finally time to end the argument. But wait, what does Marta say in farewell: "... and your daddy?"

母亲节的时候，老师让大家画下妈妈的样子，并讲讲妈妈的优点。小女孩儿玛塔和小男孩儿保罗分别画出了妈妈的样子，比较谁的妈妈更厉害。玛塔说：我妈妈会说许多种语言，会做瑜伽，会扎辫子……保罗说：我妈妈记忆力超强，能遮风挡雨，还会剪头发……他们比呀比呀，越说越离奇，都认为自己的妈妈是无所不能，是世界上*厉害的！在孩子奇妙的想象力中，妈妈一点儿也不平凡，而是仿佛充满了超能力，是个无所不能的超人。孩子通过奇妙的幻想表达了对妈妈的爱。
怎样的妈妈才称得上“超人”呢？当今社会为完美母亲的形象给予了极高的赞美，在这种压力下，妈妈必须每个细节都顾全，才能称得上是合格母亲。绘本让妈妈们不再追求完美主义，只要尽力而为，孩子都会充满感激；而孩子读了绘本之后也会明白，妈妈每日的一举一动付出了多少努力，每个妈妈都是个了不起的超人。
