Superhero Mum | Timothy Knapman

All mums are brilliant and the mum in this story is no exception. She doesn’t wear a cape or fly to Earth from Outer Space, but she runs for the bus so fast it feels like flying, uses her super strength to carry her daughter’s boots, coat, bag AND scooter, and can make bumps and bruises better with just a kiss. This mum really does have superpowers!

This super book celebrates a can-do mother and daughter team where no tangle is too tough and no load too heavy! It brilliantly captures all the things your average mum does each day with such ease that it’s as though she has superpowers.

We had Superhero Dad and now Knapman and Berger even things up with a companion title about mums. The narrative is an upbeat rhyming celebration of all the things that make them so amazing.

My Book Corner

As witty and exciting as Superhero Dad but, if possible, the bold and colourful illustrations are even better than in the original!
Along Came Poppy Picture Book of the Month

This is such a fun story to celebrate all of the ways in which every mother is a real life superhero!
Happily Ever Elephants

It’s great to see a book that celebrates mom for being present, involved, and loving. Pick up Superhero Mom for mom for Mother’s Day… or any of the other 364 days of the year that she’s a superhero.

Prove the theory that not all superheroes wear capes and show the mum in your life just how special she really is with this brilliant book. A gift for the mum who seems to be able to multitask so impressively, it’s a wonder she’s not secretly an octopus, and the mum who can make everything better with just spectacular snuggle, this rhyming read-aloud picture book is sure to enthral.
