Reviewed by Philip Van Heusen for Readers' Favorite

When children hear the word “hero,” they often think of superheroes with capes and superpowers found in comic books and movies. However, Haelee P. Moone knows that heroes come in all forms and sizes. In Everyday Heroes, she shares a story about how a teacher, Ms. Patrice, teaches her class that her hero is her dad and why, even without a cape or superpowers, he is her favorite hero. This causes the students to rethink their definition of heroes and realize the importance of real-life heroes. Many mention a parent. One great lesson the students learn from their teacher is that anything is possible with a little courage and a lot of love. Even children can be heroes when they learn to do acts of kindness and to be selfless.

Haelee P. Moone sees writing books like Everyday Heroes as one way to make a positive difference. Her writing style is easy for elementary school children to understand, and the illustrations by Arsalan Khan are congruent with the text. This book will help children exchange their awe of comic superheroes for the love and respect that real superheroes deserve. After your child reads this book, assist them in examining their beliefs concerning superheroes. Then, help them in identifying those around them who are heroes. Help your child plan a selfless act of kindness for a different person weekly or occasionally. This is a great book to promote the reality of human heroes. I recommend it as you teach your children how to honor these often-forgotten heroes.

Did you know that everyone is a hero? Even you. All you have to do is show care for others, along with laughter and love. In other words, be kind. In Haelee P. Moone’s Everyday Heroes, you’ll read about some pretty ordinary people, even children, who are actually heroes. Why? Because they care about others in their own sweet and unique ways. A school assignment to write about one’s heroes sparks all kinds of discussions, including one boy who claims Batman is his hero. The lesson learned is summed up by the students’ teacher, Ms. Patrice, who says, “The lesson here is you don’t need capes or superpowers to be a hero. Everyday people like our moms, dads, aunts, uncles, and countless others do amazing things without them. Because of that, they deserve just as much, if not more recognition than our favorite fictional heroes.”

Haelee P. Moone’s picture book story, Everyday Heroes, is an engaging read that will teach young people the importance of caring and being kind, for it’s in being kind to others that we all become heroes. The setting is a special school, Castle Academy, where students learn in unique and positive ways. The plot follows one teacher’s class assignment to write about heroes and as the children share stories of who they think are their heroes, the teacher provides a valuable lesson on the true meaning of heroism. The language is simple so young readers can easily follow along. The illustrations by Arsalan Khan are bright, bold, and colorful and help move the story forward. Loved it!
