"""...an excellent picture book centered around all the heroes who keep us and our loved ones healthy-or on a journey to health. What's so spectacular about this rhyming-read-aloud are the diverse heroes within and the the recognition that many of these heroes are also mothers and fathers-two times the heroes? SUPERHEROES!"" -- Bedtime Stories Forevermore ""[T]hese books do not disappoint! From the accessible text to the inclusive illustrations to the important introduction to all sorts of community heroes, the 'Family Heroes' series is worth a read with your young audiences! ... the inclusion and diversity in the characters' physical characteristics will also lead to many wonderful conversations."" -- Children's Lit Love ""The text, in an abcb rhyme scheme, is descriptive, accessible, and pertinent. Tikkou's bright illustrations are neatly integrated with the text, providing additional details about the jobs and the workers. ... A companion work, Keeping Us Healthy, follows the same format, focusing on ambulance drivers, X-ray technicians, dentists, veterinarians, and other healers. The diversity is even more striking, with a 'daddy' nurse and 'mommy' doctor (both people of color) and a white pharmacist who uses a wheelchair. Parents and young readers will find much to discuss."" -- Kirkus Reviews"
