Just what does a superhero look like these days? Well, he doesn't have x-ray vision or drive a "super-powered car" and he doesn't have a cloak of invisibility or a laser gun. But you should see what he does have! This is a very special superhero. This is an American soldier and he is headed home to his family where the yellow ribbons are tied in hopes of a safe return. A great read aloud that celebrates our real heroes!

*********
Some superheroes wear rocket-propelled boots, drive super-powered cars, and have X-ray vision.
But other superheroes wear army boots, drive tanks, and go away for long trips to make the world a safer place. It’s a tough job, but superheroes can do it.
With Melinda Hardin’s simple text and with Bryan Langdo’s endearing watercolor-and-pencil illustrations, Hero Dad makes a difficult and tender subject more accessible to children with parents serving far from home.---from the publisher
