Heroes for My Daughter

"Heroes for My Daughter" by Brad Meltzer will make a wonderful gift for a daughter or grand-daughter that can be read to them several times.
This is a follow-up book to Meltzer's best-selling "Heroes for My Son" published in 2011. "Heroes for My Daughter" is a collection of stories about the lives and accomplishments of 55 extraordinary men and women whose virtues the author wanted to share with his daughter when she grew up.
Some of the heroes are known around the world while a few are lesser known. They represent different times in our history and are drawn from different walks of life such as athletes, teachers, artists, presidents, investors, scientists, explorers and spiritual leaders. They were selected by Meltzer to inspire daughters and grand-daughters to find their place as useful citizens and contributors to society.
