Description

When Brad Meltzer, "New York" Times bestselling author of "The Book of Fate" and "The Tenth Justice", welcomed his first child into the world, he started keeping a list of heroes whose virtues and talents he wanted his son to share when he grew up.

Bush, Charlie Chaplin, Pele, Muhammad Ali, Barack Obama, Harper Lee, Rosa Parks, Lou Gehrig, Ben Rubin (Brad Meltzer's Grandfather), and many more.
