Dress up season is upon us!
It’s also the busiest time of year at Little Hero Capes.
Allison, Little Hero’s cape maker extraordinaire, will be summoning all of the super powers she can muster to make certain every kid that wants to be a Little Hero this Halloween will be able to dress the part. While she and her trusty sidekick (her sewing machine) work at lightning speed, I’ll be joining the team as a Little Hero Capes Blog contributor.
By way of introduction, my name is Robert Mahar – I’m a blogger, shop owner and a huge believer in Allison’s vision of empowering young imaginations and encouraging kids to be real-world heroes through acts of kindness and involvement in their community. I’ll be here to keep you up to date on all Little Hero happenings, write about real world heroes that inspire, share ways your little hero can be a force for good and post all manner of kid friendly fun.
Allison will continue to share ‘AHA! moments,’ the adventures of her family and life at Little Hero headquarters. And of course, she’s always available to field questions and respond to your comments and inquiries at allison@littleherocapes.com.
In honor of super hero origins, I’m sharing selections from an online archive of ‘visual sounds’ gleaned from vintage comic strips! You can find links to the individual sources below the image collage. Pow!
