⭐My Hero
River is on an important mission — he wants to choose a hero.
Not the kind who flies through the sky or battles villains in comic books, but a real hero who can inspire him to become the very best version of himself.
With a notebook in hand and curiosity in his heart, River begins exploring a long list of possibilities.
He starts where many children do: with a classic superhero. Capes, powers and daring rescues are exciting, but River soon realises that bravery comes in many forms. As he moves through his list, he discovers heroes hiding in plain sight — the Taekwondo master who teaches discipline and respect, the school teacher who guides with patience, the community helpers who show kindness every day, and the everyday people who make the world better simply by caring.
Each hero offers something different: strength, wisdom, courage, creativity, compassion.
River studies their qualities one by one, comparing what makes each of them special.
Through this gentle, rhyming journey, he begins to understand a powerful truth — heroes aren’t defined by fame or superpowers. They are defined by the values they live by and the way they inspire others to grow.
By the end of his search, River realises he doesn’t need to choose just one hero. Every person on his list has something meaningful to teach him, and together they help him imagine the kind of person he hopes to become.
My Hero is an uplifting picture book that celebrates everyday role models and encourages children to look for inspiration in the world around them.
