Superhero Tales

A Hero Like You looks at everyday heroes and highlights qualities such as loyalty, compassion, resourcefulness, justice, and courage. The lyrical rhyme and relatable illustrations remind us that we all have the opportunity to be a hero by helping others, doing right and making the world a better place. "What the world needs is a hero like you!"

The littlest super hero fans won’t mind getting ready for bed when they know they can say goodnight to Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and the rest of their favorite characters before drifting off to sleep. Super heroes’ days are action-packed. They race around the world, battle the baddest of bad guys, and outwit villains to keep people safe. They are also busy inventing gadgets and super hero suits and keeping the environment safe from harm—and some of them even have day jobs! But just like everyone else, after a long, hard day (of saving the world), Batman, Batgirl, Green Lantern, and The Flash head home to rest. Superman, Cyborg, and the others get ready for bed and curl up to get a good night’s sleep so they can be strong, smart, and powerful for another day. The Big Book of Bedtime Stories for Super Heroes provides a solid introduction to the DC Universe and is the perfect calming picture book for super heroes in training who need a good rest.

As witty as it is heartpounding, this fresh take on the beloved superhero genre is all about finding your own way to shine even when it seems everyone else around you is, well... super. Never trust a guy in spandex. In Abby Hamilton’s world, superheroes do more than just stop crime and save cats stuck in trees—they also drink milk straight from the carton and hog the television remote. Abby’s older brother moonlights as the famous Red Comet, but without powers of her own, following in his footsteps has never crossed her mind. That is, until the city’s newest vigilante comes bursting into her life. After saving Abby from an attempted mugging, Morriston’s fledgling supervillain Iron Phantom convinces her that he’s not as evil as everyone says, and that their city is under a vicious new threat. As Abby follows him deeper into their city’s darkest secrets, she comes to learn that heroes can’t always be trusted, and sometimes it’s the good guys who wear black.

From friendly encounters to government conspiracies, 21 superheroes (some completely new and some with their stories continued from Volume One), all FEMALE superheroes, can be found represented in these stories, with illustrations by six different artists. Edited by Rebecca Fyfe. Foreword written by Lisa McLeod. Cover art by Julia Lela Stilchen. A portion of the proceeds from sales of this book will be donated to the Because I am a Girl organization.
