Description

"Required reading for any prospective dark knights or superheroes." Kirkus Reviews


Clad in bright suits that bespeak their daring deeds, these mini heroes, aka kids, live their daily lives assailed by all sorts of new challenges and uphill battles. Whether jumping rope on the playground, eating towers of ice-cream, or hanging upside-down from the ceiling, they are never short of plans and projects! But sometimes, they have to pause from their daring adventures, perhaps to take a bath or for the laundry to be done, which may be the greatest challenge of all!


Full of excitement and loaded with imagination, children see the world differently from everyone else. When seen as the mini heroes they are, kids inspire the rest of us to enjoy life.

Reviews

"When I was reading this book, I just kept thinking how Olivier Tallec really seemed to get into the mind of a young child -- how their world is one big adventure of many experiences that adults sometimes do not understand...The illustrations are perfect [and] the expressions on the young mini heroes are priceless!" STARRED REVIEW, Kristin Guay, Youth Services Book Review
