Description
From the author of The Station Cat, discover the heart-warming story of the power of a parent's love.
Heartman isn't much of a superhero. He can fly, sure, but that's it. Everyday he goes out to fight fearsome super-villains like the GREAT BIG MORT GAGE, the fugitive brothers - The Bills, and the exhausting 9.2.5., but compared to everyone else's dad, he's not very impressive. However, when you fall down, there's only one hero that can pick you up again.
In this quick-witted and thought provoking picture book, author and illustrator Stephen Hogtun will have parents moved from laughter to tears, while children will be captivated by illustrations from award-winning author Stephen Hogtun . But most importantly of all, Heartman reminds us that love is the greatest superpower there is, and it will always save the day.
