#1 New York Times bestselling author Brad Meltzer brings together a 

remarkable group of heroes with one thing in common: they were 

ordinary people who became extraordinary.

A perfect companion to girl power collections like Goodnight Stories for 

Rebel Girls, Rachel Ignotofsky’s Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers 

Who Changed the World, and Vashti Harrison’s Little Leaders, Heroes for

 My Daughter is a necessary addition for children, parents, teachers, and 

anyone looking for inspiration. The sixty featured figures represent the 

spectacular potential we all have within us to change the world.

The dynamic pages full of photos, quotes, and brief biographies are perfect 

for reading aloud and allow every reader to explore at their own pace. 

Not limited to female role models, the wonderfully diverse heroes included 

in the book are men, women, historical, contemporary, athletes, actors, 

inventors, politicians, and so much more.

Heroes for My Daughter is a book to be read again and again, as the 

simple question of what makes a hero remains a vital part of today’s 

conversation.
