What Makes a Hero by Pamela Bobowicz - ESSENTIAL

What Makes a Hero by Pamela Bobowicz, illustrated by Eda Kaban, PICTURE BOOK. Marvel, 2019. $13. 9781368048071

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

The Marvel cinematic female heroes give a pep talk and tell how to be a better person based on their experiences. Captain Marvel encourages stepping up for those who need hope, Nebula and Gamora talk about being stronger from working together, and Maria and Monica Rambeau say keep moving forward through difficulty.

There are 16 heroes in all. Bobowicz presentation of the heroes is a great message - even the ones who don't have super powers are heroes and give a great message about doing hard things. Although they are all female, the messages are not gender specific, so the boys will like this as much as the girls.
