Summary:
Discover fifty real heroes -- and learn to become one yourself. This book teaches boys everywhere that being a hero only requires being yourself -- but your best self. Bright, colorful portraits by over a dozen international artists accompany true stories of men and women who knew that character -- things like integrity, compassion, and courage -- mixed with their own unique gifts -- creativity, fitness, curiosity, and more -- could make the world a better place.
