School Is Full of Superheroes by Michael Dahl, Omar Lozano
5.0

School Is Full of Superheroes by Michael Dahl is a great beginning of the year book to introduce the important people in a school and what their role at the school is. This book is mainly geared toward K-2nd grade. As a second grade teacher, I would love to read this book to my class and explore the various roles and their jobs. I would also like to tie it into ways we can show appreciation for the hard work each of those "superheroes" do to help the school run such as make thank you cards for the custodian.

I like how the jobs of the superheroes are to "encourage new, young, heroes everywhere... just like you." I also like how the superheroes who work at the school are referred to as a team and they "work together with a single mission..." It portrays the superheroes of the school in a positive way and lets our young students know that each member of the team is there to help and encourage them.

The illustrations are also very engaging and diverse.

I would recommend this book to teachers, librarians, and parents who have a child that will be starting school for the first time. This book will be published on Jan. 1, 2024. I know I will be picking up a copy for my classroom library and will be buying some as beginning of the year gifts for my teacher friends.

Thank you Michael Dahl and Netgalley for letting me read an early ecopy of this book. I voluntarily read it and gave an honest review.
