Superhero Mom

All moms are amazing, and the mom in this story is no exception. She doesn't wear a cape or fly around, but she runs for the bus so fast it feels like flying; uses her superstrength to carry her daughter’s boots, coat, bag, and scooter; and can make bumps and bruises better with just a kiss. Maybe moms really do have superpowers!

Timothy Knapman is the author of many picture books, including Superhero Dad, illustrated by Joe Berger; The Winter Fox, illustrated by Rebecca Harry; and Soon, illustrated by Patrick Benson. He writes both fiction and nonfiction, and his books have been translated into fifteen languages. In his spare time, he writes plays and musicals, because he believes that onstage, as between the covers of a book, the real and the fantastical can collide, and that is where all great storytelling comes from. Timothy Knapman lives in England.

Joe Berger, the illustrator of Superhero Dad and Hubble Bubble, Granny Trouble, writes and illustrates books for children and adults. He is also a cartoonist who makes the occasional award-winning animated short film or title sequence. He lives in England with his wife, three daughters, two cats, and a small dog.
