If you are anything like me, you’re always on the lookout for good books to add to your child’s library — stories your little one will love for years to come with fun and colorful pages, exciting characters and adventurous tales that allow your child to use their imagination while teaching a valuable lesson.
Growing up, it was obvious from my childhood bookshelf which books fell into this category. They were the ones with a tattered cover, a tear or two on the pages from constant page turning, and they spent more time off the bookshelf than actually on.
One such book has just been released.
“Oliver & Hope Superhero Saturday” delivers a fun story and engaging images that allow readers to imagine how they might become a hero like the characters. The heartwarming story also teaches subtle lessons about the power of friendship, resiliency and imagination. And the best news is, it supports a very important cause.
More About the Book
Imagination takes flight in the third book of the award-winning Oliver & Hope™ series as Oliver™ the bear, Hope™ the butterfly and Millie™ the barn owl join their friend Charlotte the fox on a superhero adventure. When these lovable characters put on their hero capes, they have fun pretending to save a pirate ship, rescue a hot air balloon and face an evil mud monster. But when they discover their friend Chewie™ the English bulldog really needs their help, the friends must work together to become real heroes.
The 32-page book, geared toward children ages 3-8, delivers a fun story and engaging images that enable readers to imagine how they might become a hero like the characters. The heartwarming story also teaches subtle lessons about the power of friendship, resiliency and imagination.
“Oliver & Hope’s Superhero Saturday” is the highly anticipated follow-up to the first two award-winning books in the series: “Oliver & Hope’s Amusing Adventure” and “Oliver & Hope’s Adventure Under the Stars.” Each book in the series is written by Meg Cadts and beautifully hand-illustrated and painted by Samantha Fitch.
Supporting an Important Cause
Proceeds from the books and plush toys from the series help fund UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation grants that help families pay for children’s medical expenses not covered, or not fully covered, by their parents’ commercial health insurance plan.
“We created the Oliver & Hope series to provide joy and inspiration for children. We are grateful to have received such positive feedback on the books, especially since the proceeds from the books and toys are helping children access medical care that will improve their health and quality of life,” said UHCCF President Matt Peterson.
Last year, UHCCF awarded medical grants worth an estimated $5.4 million to more than 2,000 children across the United States.
All three books of the Oliver & Hope series are available through uhccf.org/shop for $13.95 each. Or, act now and receive a special offer for “Oliver & Hope’s Superhero Saturday” and the new Oliver™ with cape plush toy for $16.95.
