Book of the week: Super Goat Girl by Dapo Adeola – new picture book from award-winning illustrator

From bestselling US author Tracey Baptiste and award-winning UK illustrator of Look Up!, Speak Up! and more, Dapo Adeola, comes a new humorously heart-warming picture book Super Goat Girl – London Mums’ book of the week. Through a hilarious, comic style story, the book gently tackles the difficulties of impostor syndrome for a young audience, and encourages young readers to find confidence and joy in who they are and what makes them special.

About the book:

It’s hard to fit in when you’re the new kid in superhero school!

On Super Goat Girl’s first day, she’s met with a LOT of stares! After all what kind of superhero doesn’t have a fancy costume or a funky cape? While the other children are having fun writing with lasers, doing lightning-fast maths, and being super stretchy, Super Goat Girl doubts she can measure up.

As weird events happen throughout the day, will she be able to figure out what her special superpower is and work out how not to feel super strange?

Super Goat Girl is out in the UK on 17th July.
