*AUDIO ENHANCED EDITION WITH READ-ALOUD AUDIO, MUSIC, AND TEXT HIGHLIGHTING*
All mums are brilliant and the mum in this story is no exception. She doesn’t wear a cape or fly to earth from outer space, but she runs for the bus so fast it feels like flying, uses her super strength to carry her daughter’s boots, coat, bag AND scooter, and can make bumps and bruises better with just a kiss. This mum really does have superpowers!
*This special edition of Superhero Mum comes with read-loud audio and text highlighting.*
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The child narrator in this spunky picture book acknowledges that many mothers are special, but she believes that her mom who sports a high ponytail and rocks red Chuck Taylors is a superhero. Berger's high-energy digital graphics show the supermom in mid-motion, making pancakes, untangling hair, and tending to a hurt knee: "My supermom appears,/ with a bandage and a kiss,/ to chase away my tears." Knapman's sentiments about a mother's many talents are well-meaning, but the story focuses on heteronormative examples and concludes with a platitude: "Every mom's a superhero and so is every girl!" Also available: Superhero Dad. Ages 3 7.
