I loved that you pointed out the importance parents hold on shaping their children depending on what they do. I am not Christian and have never read this book, but I got a good idea about what the book is about from this review.

This sounds like an educative children's book. I like that the child aspires to be like her dad. That's very heartwarming!
Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

The story follows a young girl's aspirations to become a superhero like her father, but cleverly weaves in valuable lessons about faith and the ultimate hero, Jesus.

It gives me reason to believe that some fathers are actually participating in the lives of their children, which is something that wasn't always the case in the past.
- If the fathers are able to balance their very busy jobs and participate in the lives of their children, then that definitely makes them super heroes. Thank you for a super duper review.

The sacrifices our dads made for us is worth appreciating. Personally, my dad has been a very important person since I was a kid up to now. Thanks for the engaging review!

"How I Became a Superhero" by Chelsea Dozier is a charming and heartwarming read that seamlessly blends superhero adventure with lessons about fatherhood and faith. Perfect for Christian children who admire comic book heroes and look up to their fathers as role models. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A book that gives us an insight into spiritual leadership from a child's perspective sounds great for both adults and children.

I really appreciated that you pointed out the importance of parents and their roles in children’s lives. Many tend to forget that children are a reflection of themselves and mimic what they do. Great review.

I agree with everything written about this book. It is nice to see the dad as an important role model for his daughter. The virtues of patience, forgiveness, and love are portrayed as superhero traits as taught by Jesus. This is a nice way to present Christianity to children. :techie-studyinggray:

There are so many good children's books in the market. Kids, normally boys, always love superhero books. This book might be a fine addition to your kid's library and will inspire them to read more. Congratulations on BOTD, and best wishes for future projects.

It has been a while I enjoyed a review so much! As I was reading, I was already picturing how I would get it for my little boy. I love stories about Jesus and the part of wanting to be a hero like his father is an icing on the cake. Well done to the author and reviewer. You both did a great job!

It's a brilliant idea to portray Jesus as the greatest superhero. It's wonderful that a child sees her dad as a superhero and that he's involved in her life. Thank you for the great review.
