True Heroes

True Heroes: A Treasury of Modern-day Fairy Tales Written by Best-selling Authors

Twenty-one imaginative authors were paired up with twenty-one extraordinary kids.

What makes these kids so special? They all have two things in common: They all have very big hopes and dreams, and they all have battled cancer.

Photographer Jonathan Diaz asked each of these remarkable children, "If you could be anything, what would you be?" Their answers were the inspiration for this one-of-a-kind book.

So turn the page and meet Korbyn the firefighter, Bre the dancer, Braelyn the superhero, William the dragon rider, Tristan the football star, and Rae the princess—and more—

who were all photographed in full costume and digitally inserted into a background showing them as the hero of their own story. 

Then read the original short stories that were based on each child's specific dream.

True Heroes shares the powerful message that children can do hard things. They are dreamers. They are fighters. They are heroes.

My Review

This book is AMAZING!

I LOVE the idea of photographing a child in his dream-come-true picture!

I also absolutely LOVED reading the bio of each child!

And to have an author write them into a story of their own-- WOW! So WONDERFUL!

FUN! FABULOUS! FANTASTIC! Stories! The real and the make-believe!

This is a book for the WHOLE FAMILY!

One that you won't be able to put down until the last story is shared!

PERFECT for bedtime stories!

I so wish I could just copy the whole book here for you--it is that breathtaking--

But alas all I can do is share a few sample pages--

THESE CHILDREN AND THEIR PARENTS

REALLY ARE THE TRUE HEROES--
