Superheroes Are Everywhere by Kamala Harris & Mechal Renee Roe (Picture Book Review)

Superheroes Are Everywhere

Genre: Children's Nonfiction, Biography
Length: 40 pages
Ages: 3 - 7 years
From Senator Kamala Harris comes a picture book memoir with an empowering message: Superheroes are all around us--and if we try, we can all be heroes too. 

Before Kamala Harris became a district attorney and a United States senator, she was a little girl who loved superheroes.  And when she looked around, she was amazed to find them everywhere! In her family, among her friends, even down the street--there were superheroes wherever she looked. And those superheroes showed her that all you need to do to be a superhero is to be the best that you can be. 

In this empowering and joyful picture-book memoir that speaks directly to the kids, Kamala Harris takes readers through her life and shows them that the power to make the world a better place is inside all of us. And with fun and engaging art by Mechal Renee Roe, as well as a guide to being a superhero at the end, this book is sure to have kids taking up the superhero mantle (cape and mask optional).

Our Thoughts:  
Part memoir, part picture book, Superheroes are Everywhere takes us through Kamala Harris' childhood and all the superheroes she has found in her everyday life; parents, siblings, friends, teachers, and more. 


What makes a superhero?
Bravery? Kindness? Helpfulness?

This wonderful picture book urges kids to be the very best they can be by standing up for what is right, being kind, and making a difference. 



The end pages feature family snapshots with explanations and a timeline is also included.
