Yes, finally here is a super cute picture book which answers the question of why there are no picture books with girls modeling themselves after super heroes.
Just like the two previous books, a child has a day to be heroic as she, in this case, rights wrongs and faces the challenge of going to kindergarten.
There is a check list, at the end, that ticks of what makes you heroic. Being prepared, being kind, being brave. I am happy to say none say that you have to be pretty. I also like that she is a child of color and that her dad takes her to and from school.
I think little girls will love this book. When I was a child Wonder Woman was my hero and I still wear my "Wonder Woman " bracelet to this day. More books with super heroines in it please. Girls need to see themselves.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review

Adorable little book for a pre-schooler. The protagonist appears to be Latina which is a nice bit of diversity in a children's book and her classmates are just as diverse as she is. The story goes back and forth between the little girl and Wonder Woman and her friends, which is a great way to introduce your kid to your favorite DC characters. Checklist in the back of the book is a good way to remind your little one the ways to keep being a hero.

Loved it! This is such an adorable, yet empowering book. It equates everyday school-time tasks (mediating friendship fights, facing fears, accomplishing difficult assignments) with being a hero.
The pictures are amazing, alternating between a little girl's day at school and Wonder Woman's battle with Circe. Beautiful illustrations.
There is also a "Be a STAR Checklist" at the end of the book that includes "Be Kind", "Be Brave", and "Be Honest" to teach and inspire kids how to be a star.
Fantastic book for superhero fans.

The potential was there, but I think it could have been better.

Geared toward lower grades it allows younger kids to use their imaginations to jump into the adventure with their favorite superhero. Written by a children’s book author and illustrated by comic book artists, the concept is brilliant. The dual storytelling of a kid facing her day and the comic panels of superhero defending justice is a wonderful way to relate to kids and their imaginations. The 'Be A Star' checklist is also a great reinforcement for the subtle life lessons contained in the story. Available in both board books and picture books, this series is perfect for kids 3-8.
In 'Be A Star Wonder Woman', our young lady is off to school and much like her hero Wonder Woman, she will face many challenges. She will keep the peace and face her greatest fears, but the with the help of friends she can find her courage and win the day.

A young girl faces her school day with courage and compassion, just like Wonder Woman solves her problems and fights crime with courage and compassion. Each spread has a great illustration of the young girl's day and an inset (drawn in comic book style) of Wonder Woman begin heroic. A nice addition to the series, this one is definitely recommended!
Side note: lots of diverse characters throughout, which is awesome!
