More About This Book

Overview

When Brad Meltzer's first son was born eight years ago, the bestselling writer and new father started compiling a list of heroes whose virtues and talents he wanted to share with his son: Abraham Lincoln, Rosa Parks, Jim Henson, Amelia Earhart, Muhammad Ali . . . and so many more, each one an ordinary person who was able to achieve the extraordinary. The list grew to include the fifty-two amazing people now gathered in Heroes for My Son, a book that parents and their children—sons and daughters alike—can now enjoy together as they choose heroes of their own.

From the Wright Brothers, who brought extra building materials to every test flight, planning ahead for failure, to Miep Gies, who risked her life to protect Anne Frank and her family from the Nazis during World War II, Heroes for My Son brings well-known figures together with less famous ones, telling the inspiring, behind-the-scenes stories of the moment that made them great. They are a miraculous group with one thing in common: each is an example of the spectacular potential that can be found in all of us.

Heroes for My Son is an unforgettable book of timeless wisdom, one that families everywhere can share again and again.

    A Sweet Story for Anyone Young or Old

    Brad Meltzer's collection of those men and women, famous and everyday who impacted his life is incredibly moving. Written for his son, it is not just a book for children, but a book that will help inspire everyone to look at those in their lives and see what they have taught them.

    Perfect Little Book For Sharing With Loved Ones

    Wonderful little gift book, full of heroes and thinkers and performers to inspire and inform. While it's an obvious bonding gift for father and son, any relationship can share this collection of great ideas and personalities. It will inspire reading and researching and it is something that a parent and child can sit with and talk about. A homerun on this out of character book for Brad Meltzer.

    Real heros

    I bought this for my children to read to my grandchildren. I want them to know ordinary people are capable of extraordinary things and they are capable of it.

    Touching...reminder of how humans are fragile but even more resilient

    Great synopsis of admirable role models. Must read for children--and adults who have gotten cynical of the world.

    A Wonderful Learning Tool

    As a parent, reading / language development specialist, and gift-giver, I have found multiple uses for this excellent book. Visually simple and concise but complex in thought and vocabulary, it is the ideal teaching tool for all ages.
