A gift for his son that was eight years in the making.
It’s a collection of heroes — famous and unknown — throughout history.
Join Diana Page Jordan as she speaks with New York Times bestselling author Brad Meltzer on Open Book.
An early Father’s Day gift filled with inspiration and hope.
More about the book:
When Brad Meltzer’s first son Jonas 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 together 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.
