Super Power Kids

Super Power Kids is the follow on initiative of the Super Power Baby Project. It raises the profile of children with disabilities, showcasing their unique talents, strengths and indomitable spirit. It directly challenges the deficit language often used around disability and instead focuses on the gifts and abilities of Super Power Kids.

Super Power Kids is a collaboration between Kalparrin and renowned photographers Rachel Callander and Nathan Maddigan. It captures exquisite photographic images of children living with a disability, telling their stories in a stunningly produced 200-page hardcover book which was launched at the 2019 Awesome International Arts Festival for Bright Young Things.

Using powerful imagery and storytelling, and partnering with respected and high profile organisations, Super Power Kids is an 18-month campaign, using traditional and social media with the aim of educating children and adults that there is much that lies beyond initial and often negative impressions of children with disability.

The Super Power Kids book demonstrates that children with a disability have so much to teach us about themselves and ourselves, and will reveal the value, potential, abilities and beauty in all children. Together we can change the focus, change the language and we can adopt an attitude that celebrates all of humanity.
