Synopsis

Meet a child with superhero-like abilities . . . and the parents who are racing to keep up with her in this sweetly funny audiobook about the blur of childhood, from the award-winning creators of Drawn Together.

From the very beginning, there was something different about this child... An ultrasonic voice. Fantastically elastic limbs. Super-magnetic powers. But it wasn’t until the child took her first steps that she became: THE BLUR!
    Nothing can stand in her way as she takes the world by storm: always on the move and darting into danger! All too soon, she is zipping through the days, and zooming over the years… 
    Framed as an origin story, here is a fun superhero romp for kids that will pull at the hearstrings of every parent.
