About this deal

Die spannenden Kurzbiographien dieser Persönlichkeiten werden in einer Art Graphic Novel dargestellt. So werden ihre Geschichten für Kinder und Jugendliche ansprechender und leicht zugänglich. Gradually, through trial and error, random moments with strangers, and some tragic haircuts, I've found self-love and happiness.

Dieses Buch ist großartig! Wir alle können Helden sein und unser Welt ein kleines bisschen besser und lebenswerter machen. Brooks ist mit sehr viel Engagement unterwegs. Ich fürchtete beim Lesen nur manchmal, dass die Länge der theoretischen Texte etwas zu lang für die jungen Leser*innen sein und ihre Geduld überstrapazieren könnten. Die Beispielgeschichten und die Graphic Novels aus dem Leben der „anderen“ Held*innen sind sehr überzeugend und mitreißend. Diesen Teil hätte ich mir noch etwas weiter ausgebaut gewünscht. Finding self-acceptance hasn't always been easy. I was abandoned at birth with a facial difference, and as I got older, I began to hate my face and the world I lived in. Helping others gives equal satisfaction to the one helping as to the one being helped. Look for those who can be helped by something that you are capable of offering. What do you think of when you hear the word 'hero'? Is it the wall-climbing, cape-wearing, villain-fighter you see in comics and films?Drawing on his own experiences growing up and from researching for the bestselling Dare to Be Different books, Ben Brooks reminds children that heroes aren't always the wall-climbing, cape-wearing, villain-fighters we see in comics and films. Ordinary people can be heroes too - you just need to find your own superpower! Inspirational, empowering and moving - this is an extraordinary memoir with a powerful message: you are strong enough to become your own hero. (Cape optional.) Ben Brooks is the author of Stories for Boys Who Dare to be Different which was the winner of the Children’s Book of the Year at the National Book Awards, and many other titles. His books inspire and encourage children to find their hidden skills and put them to use to realize their dreams, and make the world a better place through change. It’s because a superpower is the special gift that each one of us has hiding inside. We just have to discover what that is and put it to use.

Man muss ja nicht gleich die ganze Welt retten. Einen kleinen Teil ein bisschen besser zu machen, ist doch schon ein wichtiger Schritt. Throughout the book, readers are asked to think about themselves, such as making a list of their dreams. We are asked: what are you already good at? What are you grateful for? Who are you grateful to? What are your strengths? All of this is geared at helping us become more aware of what heroism could be – making a difference. The book is not preachy but encouraging. It emphasises the twin powers of knowledge and kindness. If we can promote just those two things, we are doing well. Many people (particularly children) want to be heroes with superpowers. They see themselves in capes and tights fighting for what they believe, and to bring about change. In truth, a hero is anyone who wants to live in a better world and decides to do something about it. Ich bin zwar den Kinderschuhen entwachsen, aber auch ich wäre gerade gern eine Heldin mit Superkräften. Notfalls würde ich mir dafür auch einen enganliegenden Dress und ein Cape überstreifen, um für das Gute und den Frieden zu kämpfen. Aber das geht Euch bestimmt ähnlich…

If you're coming to Coles by car, why not take advantage of the 2 hours free parking at Sainsbury's Pioneer Square - just follow the signs for Pioneer Square as you drive into Bicester and park in the multi-storey car park above the supermarket. Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you. You don't need to shop in Sainsbury's to get the free parking! Where to Find Us Ein Held ist jemand, der in einer besseren Welt leben möchte und beschließt, selbst aktiv zu werden, um diesen Wunsch wahr zu machen. (S. 5) Every Talent can be a superpower - We parents get so busy in our lives that we end up ignoring small acts of creativity from our children. Let's not forget to zoom into what our child is doing well. Deshalb ist es eigentlich wunderbar, wenn in diesem Buch Kindern Mut gemacht wird, ihr eigenes Potential zu finden und zum Guten zu verwenden. Dabei dürfen sie auch gerne groß träumen.

Quotes - The book is full of quotes. Here is the quote I loved the most - “By being a hero and helping other people, you’ll end up helping yourself”. Das Buch ist in 10 Kapitel unterteilt. Durch unterschiedliche Schriftarten und viele kleine Illustrationen lässt es sich super lesen und ist sehr abwechslungsreich. Dazwischen werden in Comicform die Geschichten von Alltagshelden erzählt, die durch vermeintliche Kleinigkeiten etwas tolles bewirkt haben. In Fußnoten gibt es weitere Erläuterungen. Am Ende des Buches gibt es zudem eine Zusammenstellung verschiedener Links. Jono Lancaster was born with Treacher Collins Syndrome - a condition that affects facial appearence - and at only two weeks old, he found himself in foster care. In his remarkable story, Jono shares the highs and lows of his journey and how he turned his differences into his greatest strengths. Auf der ersten Seite wird man gleich gefragt wie man sich einen Held vorstellt. Da kommen dann natürlich Batman, Superman und Co. Mir fallen das eher Menschen ein wie der Pilot, der auf dem Hudson gelandet ist. Oder auch solche, die ein Ehrenamt inne haben und bedürftigen helfen. Weit oben auf meiner Liste stehen FSJler*innen. Ordinary people have done extraordinary things that others would class as heroic, but that they would see as having pushed through barriers of doubt, to become what they truly are.Doch ebenso ganz gewöhnliche Menschen können außergewöhnliche, heldenhafte Dinge tun. Schön ist hier die Geschichte des südkoreanischen Sportlers Choi Dae Ho, der unterwegs in Singapur eine arme, alte Frau ohne Schuhe sah und ihr spontan seine eigenen schenkte.

So put away the cape, climb down from that wall and discover how ordinary people can still do extraordinary things and become heroes. Die Kapitel sind aufgeteilt in Sachtexte zu dem Thema passend, kurze Comicstrips, in denen AlltagsHelden vorgestellt werden und in wissenswertes über das Thema, um das es in dem Kapitel geht, also wie man etwas tun kann.Not All Heroes Wear Capes by Ben Brooks is a book that shines a light on other people and their achievements, while simultaneously nudging the reader along in their thinking – what can youdo? Choi Doe was a martial arts student travelling in Singapore, when he came across an elderly lady on a bus with no shoes. He took off his sandals and put them on her feet. This random act of kindness is the response of a superhero.
