"It is never too early—or too late—to learn that real-life superheroes come in all shapes, sizes, races, and genders."

Thank you for your review on this.

An insightful review! I am glad that you mentioned the fact of Toni being African-American. I think the author deliberately made him so, may be in order to break the myth of white superheroes. I agree with what you said about Toni's superpowers as well. Sometimes, it is not saving the world that makes a superhero, rather his helpful nature and healthy habits are his superpowers! I am also looking forward to reading the next books!

Thank you for this review. As a mother, I like the idea of this book including family time and housework. Not too many kids books contain these concepts. I also really appreciate the vivid illustrations you describe. I will have to check this one out myself! Thanks for the comments.

It was a cute book. I loved the colors and that children can learn from it. Great review!

I love your analysis of Toni's superpowers, and I thought the same thing as well. I think it's a wonderful idea that you don't have to do extraordinary things to be a superhero. This children's book is honestly great; not only is it inclusive, it also inculcates quite a few moral values.

Congratulations on the review!
