This question launches Lucas into a day full of discovery. He and his friends begin to uncover what makes you 'extra', coming to the conclusion that Lucas must be a superhero! In the end, we discover that it took a lot of extra time and patience for Lucas’ parents to have him, and that not only is he extra like a superhero, but his mommy and daddy are too!

Les parents peuvent ainsi aborder les difficultés rencontrées, mais surtout redécouvrir le désir qui a porté leur projet d'enfant, cette petite étincelle qui a tout rendu possible. " Il n'y a pas d'âge pour se familiariser avec ce miracle qui est la naissance d'un être humain. Encore faut-il aborder les dessous de l'affaire avec tact lorsqu'il s'agit de tout petit. C'est ce que propose l'histoire de Zoup et Zoupette et du Pr Bloub, en évoquant avec humour et poésie un parcours de procréation médicalement assistée".
