Picture Book Teaches Young Readers That Being Themselves Is Their Greatest Superpower
Ruach Press releases The Day I Became a Superhero, a story about a boy who learns real strengthcomes from authenticity, not conformity
United States, 7th Jul 2026 – Ruach Press releases The Day I Became a Superhero: Discovering the Power to Be Me, a new illustrated picture book for children ages 4 to 8 that celebrates individuality over conformity. The book is available now on Amazon in paperback and Kindle formats.
The story follows Jax, a young boy who moves to a new neighborhood and desperately wants to fit in with his peers. He tries various sports—soccer, tag, and football. He runs, jumps, kicks, and chases—giving it his complete effort each time. But nothing feels quite right because none of these activities reflect who he truly is. As Jax continues to push himself to be someone he is not, he discovers something unexpected: the things that make him different are not flaws to hide, but gifts to celebrate. The book follows his journey as he learns that being himself, with all his unique qualities and interests, is not something to apologize for—it is actually his greatest superpower.
The authors wrote this book to address what they see as a meaningful gap in children’s literature. Marcell Donaldson, an engineering professional, mentor, and youth leader from Pine Bluff, Arkansas, and Hannah Oliha Donaldson, Ph.D., a higher education leader and founder of Ruach Press, wanted to create a story that tells children their true power comes not from being the fastest, strongest, or most popular, but from embracing who they were created to be. Growing up in Pine Bluff taught Marcell to see strength in everyday people and beauty in small beginnings. Hannah’s career in higher education, focused on identity, voice, belonging, and purpose, deepened her conviction that children need stories affirming their authentic selves. The book intentionally centers a young Black boy as its protagonist—a deliberate choice that matters significantly in children’s publishing, where characters of color remain underrepresented in affirming, emotionally intelligent narratives. For young readers of color, seeing themselves in stories where they are the hero, not a side character, builds confidence and resilience.
Teachers and parents report that children starting new schools, navigating changing friendships, or dealing with social anxiety benefit tremendously from books that normalize these struggles and offer positive frameworks for building self-worth. This message is especially timely as families prepare for the back-to-school season, when many children face the acute question of whether they belong. The book has already drawn significant attention from educators and mental health professionals. Estelle Sukhu, an assistant principal, wrote that the story reminds children that their interests and passions are gifts meant to be celebrated and shared with the world. Funmi Okanla-Falade, an educator specializing in childhood development, noted that the book is particularly helpful for children learning to navigate friendships, teaching them to take pride in their own strengths while celebrating what makes their peers special. During its launch, the title earned Amazon best-seller badges in multiple children’s categories, including Children’s Moving Stories, Children’s Superhero Science Fiction, and Children’s Self-Esteem Books.
Customer reviews have echoed the professional praise. A therapist who specializes in working with children wrote, “As a therapist who works with children who often struggle to fit in, experience low self-esteem, or question their sense of identity, I found this book to be a thoughtful and encouraging resource. Its emphasis on building self-confidence and embracing one’s authentic self makes it a valuable read for parents, caregivers, teachers, and therapists seeking to nurture resilience and a positive self-image in young children.” Another parent described the book as exactly what their child needed: “Fantastic book for any child, especially those who are changing schools or struggling to make new friends. The Day I Became A Superhero is light hearted, relatable, and sends a great message that being themselves is their greatest superpower.”
“Every child carries something special inside of them. Sometimes, the greatest superpower is simply discovering who you were created to be and having the courage to become it.”
— Marcell Donaldson
“Children do not have to become someone else to be extraordinary. They already carry gifts, creativity, courage, and purpose inside of them. Sometimes, the journey is simply learning how to recognize those gifts and walk confidently in who they were created to be.”
— Hannah Oliha Donaldson, Ph.D
Ruach Press is committed to creating books and products that inspire people to embrace their authenticity. As part of its community commitment, the publisher donates fifteen percent of its profits to support children and families in need in the Twin Cities, including an annual Thanksgiving turkey drive that provides food boxes to families and youth empowerment programs where children discover their strengths, own their voices, and develop confidence in faith-filled, purpose-driven environments.

Scientology Volunteer Ministers Open First Sarajevo Exhibition with Sevdalinka Songs and Free Seminars
Scientology Volunteer Ministers brought their yellow tent of help to Sarajevo for the first time, opening a three-day public exhibition in the city center with traditional sevdalinka songs, a ribbon cutting and free seminars in practical techniques for everyday problems.
SARAJEVO, Bosnia and Herzegovina – 8 October 2026 – The Scientology Volunteer Ministers opened their first public exhibition in Sarajevo, bringing the program’s yellow tent of help to a central square of the Bosnian capital for three days of free seminars and demonstrations of practical techniques for dealing with the difficulties of everyday life.
Caption: The ribbon is cut to open the Scientology Volunteer Ministers exhibition in central Sarajevo. The banner reads “Nesto se ipak moze uciniti” – “Something can be done about it,” the motto of the Volunteer Ministers.
The grand opening was scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on the square. When rain and a sudden drop in temperature arrived, the Volunteer Ministers moved the ceremony inside the tent, where guests gathered among the exhibition’s panels for an evening of sevdalinka, the traditional urban folk song of Bosnia known for its emotional melodies and poetic lyrics of love, longing, and life. A local ensemble of singers in traditional Bosnian costume, accompanied on accordion, performed two sets of eight songs and an encore, closing with songs dedicated to Sarajevo and to Bosnia itself.
Caption: Guests at the grand opening listen to a short address inside the Volunteer Ministers tent after rain moved the ceremony indoors. The exhibition panels behind the speakers present practical tools on subjects such as stress, conditions in life and problems at work.

Between the two sets, Juraj Duna, the Volunteer Minister in charge of the European Goodwill Tour, told guests how the Volunteer Ministers program began, how its volunteers assisted in Bosnia and Herzegovina after the floods of 2014 and what the yellow tent offers today. A Volunteer Minister who has supported the tour on previous visits to the region then cut the red ribbon together with two guests from the local community, and visitors were invited to tour the exhibition and take part in the hands-on demonstrations that followed.
“Sarajevo is a city with a long tradition of different communities living side by side, and the people here have shown us a warmth and openness that made this visit memorable,” Duna said. “The Volunteer Ministers came because the tour had never been to Sarajevo before, and because the tools in this tent are for anyone who wants to improve conditions in his own life and help the people around him. Something can be done about it, and that is the message we came to share.”
The exhibition presents 19 subjects drawn from the Scientology Handbook, each offering practical know-how for a common difficulty in life, from stress and conditions at work to study problems, communication, marriage, raising children and the causes of suppression. Visitors are introduced to simple tools intended to help them understand the roots of a difficulty and take a concrete step to improve it.
The most requested seminars in Sarajevo were those on assists, a set of simple techniques intended to help a person relax and ease discomfort by addressing the spiritual component of stress and tension. Attendees watched a short film, saw the technique demonstrated, received an assist themselves and then practiced delivering one to another person. By the close of the exhibition, 13 participants had reported that they were applying what they learned to help family members at home, and several asked for further training.
“What stood out in Sarajevo was how quickly people moved from watching to doing,” Duna said. “By the second day, visitors who had come in for a seminar were delivering assists to each other. That is exactly what the Volunteer Ministers program is for: putting workable tools in the hands of people who will use them.”
Following the exhibition, the tour delivered a lecture and workshop on “The Cause of Suppression,” one of the 19 subjects presented in the tent, for members of a local cultural association, and has been asked to repeat the lecture for a larger audience in the city.
The Volunteer Ministers European Goodwill Tour arrived in Bosnia and Herzegovina on 6 June 2026, spending five weeks in Mostar before moving to Sarajevo. The tour concludes its work in the country on 8 October 2026 and continues to other cities in the region.

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers program was created in the mid-1970s by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard, who wrote that “a Volunteer Minister is a person who helps his fellow man on a volunteer basis by restoring purpose, truth and spiritual values to the lives of others.” Volunteer Ministers have responded to major disasters around the world for nearly five decades and, through traveling yellow-tent exhibitions and free online courses, bring the same tools to communities in times of peace. Their motto is “Something can be done about it.”

Our lead asset, Hopes Advance, produces 66.6% Fe iron ore, with 0.01% Al₂O₃ and 0.005% phosphorus – among the lowest impurity levels of any seaborne concentrate globally.
Canada, 8th Oct 2026 – Global Stocks News – Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of Oceanic Iron Ore. On October 7, 2026, Oceanic Iron Ore (TSXV: FEO) issued a message to shareholders entitled “The Demand for Green Steel”.
Oceanic is focused on the development of its 100% owned Hopes Advance, Morgan Lake and Roberts Lake iron ore projects located on the coast, in the Labrador Trough in Québec, Canada.
The flagship Hopes Advance Project has a NI 43-101 Measured & Indicated resource of about 1.36 billion tonnes at a head grade of 32.1% Fe. The project is located at tidewater. The PEA highlights that Oceanic will not require a railroad to get its iron ore to market, significantly reducing capital expenses and operating costs.
The Demand for Green Steel
Chris Batalha
CEO of Oceanic Iron Ore
The planet is heating up. The ten warmest years in recorded history have all occurred in the last decade. The International Science Council (ISC) warns that higher temperatures are causing an increase in hurricanes, droughts and tropical cyclones.
The production of steel is a major contributor to global warming. An astonishing one billion metric tonnes of metallurgical coal is consumed globally every year to manufacture steel. This accounts for 15% of coal burned globally across all industries. Steel and iron ore are responsible for 7-9% of the world’s CO2 emissions.
The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) has recommended that emissions from the iron and steel sector fall by more than 90% by 2050. To achieve this reduction target, global metallurgical infrastructure is currently being reimagined and rebuilt.
For decades, iron ore has been processed in traditional blast furnaces. These enormous chemical reactor towers transform iron ore into liquid metal (pig iron). The process requires extreme heat generated from burning metallurgical coke with hot air.
Blast furnaces are designed to run continuously 24/7 for 10 to 20 years. Shutting them down creates three major problems: the molten iron and slag inside the furnace can turn solid after time; cooling refractory linings can cause structural damage; reheating the blast furnace requires large amounts of energy, taking weeks – sometimes months – to achieve operational readiness.
Currently, about 70% of global steel is manufactured using these coal-fired blast furnaces. Gradually, production is being shifted to Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) plants that use Green Hydrogen to strip oxygen from the iron ore, releasing water vapour instead of CO2.
The benchmark grade of iron ore required for blast furnace product is 62% Fe. Impurities like phosphorus make the steel brittle. Removing other impurities such as silica, alumina and sulphur forces the steel mill to use more energy, pure oxygen and fluxing agents like limestone.
The greener DRI plants require high-grade iron ore with low impurities due to the electricity requirements to produce a molten slag during steel making. Our lead asset, Hopes Advance, produces 66.6% Fe iron ore, with 0.01% Al₂O₃ and 0.005% phosphorus – among the lowest impurity levels of any seaborne concentrate globally.
New environmental regulations are actively pushing Chinese steel mills toward higher-grade ores. The Chinese want processing facilities that will maximize output while minimizing the additional pollution created from removing impurities.
High-grade, low-impurity iron ore has been added to Canada’s and Québec’s Critical Minerals List. This premium product is in high demand from global steelmakers transitioning to green, hydrogen-based Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) processing.
Because the Hopes Advance iron ore is high-grade and has negligible alumina and phosphorus content, we have an opportunity to play an important role in servicing the green steel markets. It is a significant business advantage. Not all iron mines can contribute to the green steel input market.
There are still about 1,000 blast furnaces in operation. Many of these operations need high-grade material to blend with their lower-grade feed. Oceanic downstream iron ore buyers could be steel companies, iron ore producers, or trading houses.
In the next message, I will explain what we learned from the Hopes Advance Re-Scoped PEA.
