“10 Hidden Heroes is one of the most amazing early childhood books ever! The beautiful illustrations create opportunities for children to seek-and-find every day individuals who make a difference in the lives of others. The book also provides opportunities for children to learn to count and master one-to-one correspondence, it promotes self-awareness, social awareness, a sense of identity, and the importance of relationships as children and adults share conversation and make connections. It is the perfect book to promote community awareness and it encourages children to be their best self.”
