A young author has launched his second book, which includes a heartwarming message of self-belief.

Lincoln Rawlins, 11, officially introduced Super SproutĀ at Amaze World in Tanawha last weekend.

Endorsed by literary icon Jackie French, the new book is set to inspire readers of all ages with its message of self-belief and the power of individuality.

ā€œI’m really excited to share Super Sprout with everyone,ā€ Lincoln said.

ā€œThis book is all about finding your own superpowers and remembering that being yourself is the best thing you can be.

ā€œI wrote this book for anyone who has ever thought they weren’t good at anything or didn’t think they were good enough. Because everyone is good enough.”

Lincoln Rawlins wants kids to know they have superpowers too.

Super Sprout is the much-anticipated follow-up to Sprout’s Idea, a story that captured hearts with its message of kindness and environmental stewardship.

Lincoln’s journey from a young storyteller to a published author with the backing of Andy Griffiths for his debut book has been remarkable, with more than 500 copies of his debut book sold across Australia, New Zealand, the USA, the UK and Germany.

Now, with the release of Super Sprout, Lincoln hopes to inspire even more young readers to embrace their unique talents.

ā€œWriting this second book was a lot of fun because I got to imagine what it would be like if Sprout had superpowers,ā€ he said.

ā€œI wanted to create a story that reminds people that we all have something special about us, and we should be proud of who we are.ā€

ā€œI hope that by sharing my stories, other kids will be inspired to write their own or just be proud of what makes them unique.

ā€œWe all have our own superpowers – we just need to find them.ā€

The book launch event last weekend included exclusive access to Amaze World’s attractions, along with plenty of opportunities to meet Lincoln and have a copy of Super Sprout signed.

ā€œI’m so grateful for all the support I’ve received from other authors, my family, and everyone who has read my books,ā€ Lincoln said.
