ABC for Me: ABC Everyday Heroes Like Me

I LOVE THIS BOOK! I have already purchased this book for many of my friends kids. I love that the choices for the alphabet are not the typical jobs you would think of. I would never choose Tow Truck Driver for t or Home Builder for h. I think it is a wonderful book. I also love the pictures and colors chosen in the book. Excellent job! 5 stars are not enough!

This title helps children to think of those who are heroes in quiet ways. For example, B is for Best Friend, so important yet often unsung. Each illustration is accompanied by a short text about what makes that person heroic. So, for the best friend above, one thing that is noted is acceptance of who we are by our friends. Several other letter heroes are G for Gardener, L for Librarian, and R for Railway Engineer , 26 in all (of course).

At the end of the book, there is one person featured for each letter. For example, the librarian is Beverly Cleary.

This engaging title offers little ones the chance to become acquainted with many everyday heroes. I hope that they will be inspired.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title. All opinions are my own.

A wonderful short book including examples of occupations (and some non-occupations) that are not always seen in these types of books. Normally these books include only high-profile jobs, but it was a nice change to see some everyday occupations to present to children as important - not only doctors, astronauts, and musicians we see in similar titles.

This was so super cute. I will even forgive the slightly confusing for the target audience use of the second letter of a word (Q is for eQual rights activist, and X is for eXplorer - even though X-ray tech was on the table). The art was fantastic and very inclusive. I recognized some familiar faces on many of the pages. Overall, my toddlers enjoyed reading this with me and I loved it.

I received a free digital ARC through NetGalley. This is a great diverse list of everyday heroes with some nods to ionic ones. I love that Beverly Cleary was included.

This was adorable. I loved the bright illustrations, and all of the different professions that were highlighted, especially ones that don’t seem like they would make a huge difference.

This bright, colourful book full or bold illustrations encourages children to recognised the heroic qualities in those around them, in a fun way, using all the letters of the alphabet.

This is a lovely book and I love it inclusion of unsung heroes and equal rights activists. I think children will enjoy going through the pages, with their delightful illustrations and become familiar with the hero each letter represents. It ends with an open, double page spread of famous everyday heros who the children may recognise, alongside a short caption explain what it is that makes them the hero they are recognised for.

This book is great in supporting little ones personal. social and emotional development (PSED), encouraging kindness and compassion, and with supporting their understanding of the world around them.

A fab addition to any child’s bookshelf!

** I received an advanced copy of this ebook to read and review. Thank you NetGalley, the author and publisher for allowing me this opportunity. **

This is a very useful picture book teaching children about all the different jobs people do in their local area.

The book is in an A to Z format and includes G for Gardeners, D for Doctors and H for Home Builders. My favourite was B for Best Friend. A very important job!

Each coloured page is very attractive for young children and has a vibrant picture of each occupation. This would be a very useful book to compliment a 'People Who Help Us' topic at school or in an early years setting. It really helps to make children aware of all the different jobs they might choose to do.

The book finishes with some examples of famous 'everyday heroes' including Ruth Ginsberg who helped improve women's rights and Martin Luther King Jr

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Walter Jr for this eARC.

My daughter and I loved this bright, colourful picture book for children, which shows the everyday heroes who are all around us, in an easy to read format, using the alphabet. The book has stunning graphics, with cute characters that my daughter loved to look at. Each letter of the alphabet shows the beginning of a hero's name, for example, F is for First Responder and the book explains what a First Responder is (police officer, firefighter, first-aid worker etc). My daughter learned a lot from this book and she was very interested in it. It is a great book and I highly recommend it!

Many thanks to the author, publisher and Net Galley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book! It teaches kids that heroes perform all kinds of jobs in their neighborhoods. It's a lesson we all learned during the Covid-19 lockdowns and I hope it continues being taught.

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* Cute as always, love these ABC books and this one is great as well, would buy

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read and review.

This book will be the perfect board book for baby's first library. I hope to be able to buy a paperback copy for my classroom library. There is wonderful representation of cultures, people, and ideals of what makes a hero. This will be a great introduction for children to some of the most famous people in our time.

This book is so bright and colourful! I think that its a great addition to ABC books. This one explores different Heroes using the alphabet. The colours are bright and I found the description useful to explain to children more about that person. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book.
