Book Review - 'A Hero Like Me' by Angela Joy (Writer), Jen Reid (Writer), Leire Salaberria (Illustrator)

Powerful.

We need books like this now more than ever. We need absolutely everyone to read books like this - picture books like this, for everyone, that will hardly take any time to read - now more than ever.

The art is colourful, soft and gorgeous, too.


'A Hero Like Me' is:

Inspiring.

Brave.

Beautiful.

Timely.

True.


It teaches us to:

Keep standing up for what is right.

Keep marching.

Keep fighting for Change.

For Kindness, Courage, Justice, Peace...

For Equality.

For Freedom.

For Hope.

For Love

For the Future.

For saving the world.


Heroes are real. They are the ones who stand and fight for all of the above. They stand for what is right and good. They stand for everyone.

Enough is enough.

Never forget. Ever.


'Each of [the true heroes of history] held goodness in their hands -
Kindness, Courage, Justice, Peace -
and they gave it away...
I think that's what real heroes do.'


Final Score: 5/5
