Miao finds an egg that has fallen from its nest in the tree above. She is so excited, she wants to keep the egg! Dad helps Miao understand that, even though she found it, she can’t keep the egg because it doesn’t belong to her. He explains that the egg belongs in the nest and the mama bird needs their help returning the egg to its nest. In the end, Dad takes Miao in his arms and lift her up high to help her return the egg to its nest.
Every day, to transform out of his secret identity as a mild mannered suburban father, DAD dons rubber kitchen gloves, a speedo and rubber rain boots over his jeans, a tablecloth for a cape, and the pièce of résistance, a silly blue “hero” mask over his eyes… and voilà! DAD is now HERO DAD!! In every episode, DAD teaches MIAO how to solve challenging situations that every 3-year-old has to face: Do superheroes wash their hands before eating? Why wouldn’t superheroes throw trash on the ground? Are superheroes brave even if they like to sleep with a little night light?
HERO DAD guides MIAO through the everyday lessons of a 3-year-old’s life, as a superhero… albeit a clumsy superhero that’s always getting himself into trouble! He is supposed to be the hero, but he always ends up being saved by MIAO, who in turn learns the lesson of the day in the best way possible: laughing and having so much fun with her DAD!
