On the day my daughter was born, I started writing a book for her. The plan was that, over the course of her life, I'd fill it with advice on how to be a strong woman. But along the way, I got caught up in the stories of Amelia Earhart, Sally Ride, and so many others. So how do you pick the best heroes for your kids?

As I tell my daughter, when you want something in life - no matter how impossible it seems - you need to fight for it.

But to me, the most important page in my daughter's book is the last one - because it's blank. It says 'Your Hero's Photo Here,' and 'Your Hero's Story Here.'

I played Little League for one year. That was it. Then my mother realized I liked books and threatened my father. I owe her forever for that.
