Description

Help Kids Discover Their Own Inner Hero!


We often teach children that heroes are famous because of something they did, but it’s just as important to teach them that heroes are remembered for who they are. In Be Your Own Hero, Lisa King reveals what it takes to be a real-life hero. And it has a whole lot more to do with character and kindness than anything else! Being a hero takes having the courage to believe in yourself, overcome obstacles, and make the world a better—and brighter—place for everyone around you. And the good news is, we all can do that!


It’s Hero Week at school, and Quinn Wilson can hardly contain her excitement! Each day, her class will meet a real-life hero, and on Friday they get to dress up as their favorite hero from the past or present. Every other kid in the class knows who they want to be, except for Quinn! There are so many heroes she looks up to! How can she choose just one?


But when Quinn’s teacher, Mr. Finley, teaches the class some important truths about heroes, Quinn discovers something unexpected. In her search to find a hero in someone else, she actually finds the hero in herself!

Featured Reviews

With wonderful illustrations and easy to understand text, “Be Your Own Hero” contains a lovely story that teaches or reminds kids to:

*Be kind, even when others are not.
*Never give up, no matter how hard things might get.
*Believe in yourself, even when others don’t.
*Do the right thing, even when it’s tough.
*Never be afraid of failing, because failure teaches us lessons and leads to success.

The message of this book tells kids that while a lot of heroes are famous, “heroes can be ordinary people who have discovered ways to make the world a better place,” and “inside every one of you is a hero waiting to happen.”

There are also some great discussion questions in the back of this book for parents and/or educators.

“Be Your Own Hero” is a very inspirational book that I recommend for all kids of all ages!
