**Full Disclosure: I was compensated for this post. My thoughts, love of books and helping kids are all my own.
I adore books – especially children’s books – because they take me out of reality into some imaginary place with fun characters and adventures. I We have two bookshelves full of children’s books and I am always looking for something new to add to my our collection. Oliver & Hope’s Superhero Saturday is just the book I’ve been looking for – those colorful pages and that fun adventure needs to be added to my bookshelf!
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.
Creativity 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.
All three books of the Oliver & Hope series are available through uhccf.org/shop for only $13.95 each. Now, for my favorite part: Proceeds from the books and plush toys from the series help fund UHCCF grants that help families pay for children’s medical expenses not covered, or not fully covered, by their parents’ commercial health insurance plan. Last year, UHCCF awarded medical grants worth an estimated $5.4 million to more than 2,000 children across the United States!

These look like fabulous books! I love the illustrations and the stories sounds like ones I’d like to share with my girls. I’m all for giving back, especially to causes that support children in healthy ways. What a great campaign!
The books sound like ones my grandchildren would love, and the price is so little, I could get all three. The health care fund is a great idea, too,
