What's the story?

Biscuit, the class hamster, has escaped, and nobody can find him. So your child puts together a team of friends, each with an everyday superpower: one listens carefully, one shares, one is brave in the dark, and one can make everybody laugh. Together they follow the clues all through the school until Biscuit is safely home. And by the end, your child knows that nobody can be a hero alone.

Superpowers every kid already has

Listening, sharing, being brave, making people laugh — none of them needs a cape. In this book, those everyday qualities become real superpowers, so your child sees that what they and their friends are good at truly matters. They may even ask you afterward: what's my superpower? That's a conversation worth having.

A leader who listens to the team

Your child leads the team in this story, but doesn't solve the mystery alone. Each friend steps in with their own power right when the team needs it. That's how leadership should be learned: noticing what others are good at and making room for them.

Questions about “The Little Heroes Team”

Is this a good book for a child starting school?

Yes. The story takes place in the school halls, among classmates, so it makes school feel like a place for adventure and friendship. Reading it before the school year starts is a gentle way to talk about making new friends.

What kind of photo do you need?

A clear photo of the face in natural light is all it takes — a phone photo is perfect. Avoid dark photos or ones where the face is turned to the side. If the photo won't work, we'll tell you and ask for another before we start.

Can I add a dedication on the first page?

Yes. Write us the dedication you'd like — a line or a paragraph — and we'll print it on the first page in elegant type. It's the page parents come back to years later.

What language is the book in?

English — short, warm sentences made for reading aloud, with your child's name on the cover and throughout the story. You'll see the cover in the free preview, and the whole book in the proof before we print.

What if I don't love the book?

We don't print anything until you've seen the digital proof and approved it. And if your printed book arrives with a printing defect, we'll reprint and ship it again for free.
