Superhero For a Day

Reach for this book when your child needs a gateway into reading that is pure, silly fun, but can also gently open a door to conversations about what makes a family. This story follows Dog Man, a goofy hero who is part dog, part man, as he protects his city from the villainous cat, Petey. The plot takes a heartfelt turn when Petey creates a clone of himself who turns out to be a sweet, innocent kitten, forcing the grumpy villain into the role of a reluctant father. Perfect for reluctant readers aged 6 to 11, the graphic novel format and constant gags make it highly engaging, while subtly exploring powerful themes of kindness, redemption, and the idea that family is defined by love, not just biology.
