Cam Creates A Hero: Growth Mindset Book For Kids by Dagmara Sitek
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Cam Creates a Hero is such a cute and inspiring book. Cam wants to make the world a better place. After hearing on the news about a young girl who is hurt, he wants to create a hero that will save kids who are in trouble. He and his foster siblings use cardboard and other materials to make a robot. In the light of day he looks a bit different and he doesn’t work. Cam is upset and loses faith in himself. He struggles to know how to help. While dreaming he meets his robot and he encourages him to keep drawing. Cam sets him mind to making a book that can help other kids. In his book his hero robot goes on adventures and helps others. Learning about compassion, courage, anger, and inner strength are all important life lessons and Cam must face these throughout the book. Once his book is finished he watches as the magic of his words help other children at the hospital. His robot dream comes true in a way. Such a wonderful book and the illustrations are so good! I love the look of the robot in different stages. I think that this book is great for younger readers. Kids have to navigate through so many emotions and books like this can help them grow through them, build confidence, have courage, be caring, and appreciate things in their lives. Wonderful for first libraries and bedtime stories too!
