Alex's superpower did not show up on the list. The list — which every child in the neighbourhood had consulted — included: flying, invisibility, super-strength, speed, and the ability to talk to animals. Alex could not do any of these things. What Alex could do was notice. Alex noticed when Jamie was having a bad day before Jamie said anything. Alex noticed when the crossing guard looked tired and said "thank you, you are doing great" and the crossing guard stood a little straighter. Alex noticed when a new child at school was eating alone and went and sat down, not saying anything dramatic, just sitting there — which turned out to be exactly what was needed. "That is not a superpower," said the list. "Is it not?" said a very old woman who lived on the corner and had seen a great deal. Her name was Mrs. Chen and she had once, a long time ago, been given the choice between flying and noticing. She had chosen noticing. "Flying gets you from one place to another," she told Alex. "Noticing gets you to the people." Alex thought about this a lot. That evening, Alex sat on the front step …

Alex noticed when Jamie was having a bad day before Jamie said anything. Alex noticed when the crossing guard looked tired and said "thank you, you are doing great" and the crossing guard stood a little straighter. Alex noticed when a new child at school was eating alone and went and sat down, not saying anything dramatic, just sitting there — which turned out to be exactly what was needed.
"That is not a superpower," said the list.
"Is it not?" said a very old woman who lived on the corner and had seen a great deal.
Her name was Mrs. Chen and she had once, a long time ago, been given the choice between flying and noticing. She had chosen noticing.
"Flying gets you from one place to another," she told Alex. "Noticing gets you to the people."
Alex thought about this a lot.
That evening, Alex sat on the front step while the neighbourhood settled into night. A bat looped overhead. Someone walked a dog. Lights came on in windows, one by one — each one a family, a life, a different story all running at the same time.
Alex noticed all of it. The quiet of it. The fullness of it.
Mrs. Chen came out and they watched the dark arrive together without saying anything for a while.
"Do you think I am enough?" Alex asked.
"I think," said Mrs. Chen, "that you are exactly what this neighbourhood needs."
Alex went inside, climbed into bed, and fell asleep thinking about all the things worth noticing tomorrow.

How does DreamWeave work?
You fill out a short form about your child — their name, age, and interests. Each evening, our AI writes them a completely new story, sends it to your email, and saves it in your private library. No app to open, no ads, no screen time — just a story waiting when you need it.
What age range is DreamWeave designed for?
Ages 3 to 12. The stories automatically adapt to your child's age bucket — shorter, simpler sentences for toddlers; richer language and deeper plots for tweens. You can update their age anytime as they grow.
Can my child request stories about Superheroes specifically?
Yes — every night. When you set up your child's profile, Superheroes becomes one of their core interests. From that point on, every story is woven around that theme (plus their name, personality, and anything else you tell us). You can also swap interests anytime from your account.
