Unfortunately, we live in a world of pain and suffering. Children should never be the victims of intentional and malicious attacks that can harm them for life. In Cam Creates a Hero by Dagmara Sitek, we meet Cam, who lives in a foster home with his foster mom and two siblings, Inaya and Loris. He is a dreamer who loves drawing and writing. One day, he sees a news story about an eight-year-old girl who was badly hurt by her stepmom. This makes him sad for her and other children who are in pain. He learns about empathy but moves beyond that to compassion. Compassion does what it can to relieve the situation. He decides to build a special robot named Giorgio who will protect kids. Cam cannot make the robot work but learns an even bigger lesson. Through his art and stories, he encourages and inspires children in the hospital to be resilient and achieve anything they set their minds to. This is an inspiring story for all children.
Cam Creates a Hero by Dagmara Sitek will encourage your child to become empathetic and compassionate. This book is aimed at children aged eight to ten. They will identify with the fears of being harmed by stories they have heard from their schoolmates. Children are resilient but need unconditional love and acceptance from their parents and guardians to heal and thrive. As a parent, discussing this book and learning what your child has experienced and heard is a good idea. Please encourage your child to become like Cam and his siblings. When they see suffering, let them know it is good to do what they can to alleviate that pain. My daughter worked in the foster/adoption field for a couple of decades and saw this type of pain and suffering first-hand. She would have given this book to many children if she'd had the opportunity. I was so excited to read this book and can’t wait to read more in this series. I highly recommend this book to all. This book is excellent and deserves five stars.
