Suitable for girls and boys aged 7 to 9
Children have to experience difficult situations to learn for themselves who they are. In the story, Billy is given an opportunity to act in the school play, but he tells himself he cannot do it. He convinces himself that he's not good enough and that he'll never remember all the lines. He feels so unsure of himself and vulnerable that he thinks of all the ways he can get out of playing a part. Instead opts to be a member of the stage crew, but he is extremely capable. By attending the rehearsals, unbeknownst to him, he learns the lines for all parts. When his best friend Ant, who is due to play the lead, has an accident, Billy finds that he has no option but to save the day and play the main part. By digging deep into his resources, and becoming his superhero, he realises that he is capable and that he does have the ability.
