Good morning! My name is Wonder Wendy and I have a secret to tell you: I have superpowers! My superpower is kindness. I fly around the city doing kind deeds for others. I clean up rubbish in the park every morning. As I fly around, I leave a rainbow in the sky so that when people wake up, they have something beautiful to look at. Being kind to others helps them to have a better day.
