Heroes for My Daughter

126 pp. | HarperCollins/Harper | October, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-243927-7 $17.99
(4) 4-6 After sentimental introductions directed at his sons and daughter (respectively), Meltzer compiles succinct one-spread profiles of men and women who represent his view of heroism; each bio includes a black-and-white photo and a quote. With some overlap, the books include both well-known figures (Amelia Earhart, Nelson Mandela) and more obscure ones, as well as personal role models (Meltzer's ninth-grade English teacher). The personal approach adds resonance. Review covers these titles: Heroes for My Daughter and Heroes for My Son.
