A Different Kind of Hero is a book by Leah Beth Evans. It tells the story of a monkey that is named Tomagochi. He is a resident of the rainforest along with some other animals – in particularly his friends Peshe the tiger and Mocho the Tucan. Tomagochi is sad because he doesn’t think that there is anything special about him! His friends try to tell him that everyone has something special about them.

This is a great book to teach children the lesson that everyone is special and the illustrations really bring all the characters and the story to life. It is sure to keep your child’s attention.
