"The swift portraits seize readers, leaving them not only wanting to know more, but to do more. An admirable effort to engage today's youth." - Kirkus Reviews

"Wilson’s book has a clean, attractive design with a portrait and photos that readers can trust – they show the kids at work, on the spot, giving hope, making headlines... Our Heroes will be an excellent choice for discussions among young people anxious to right some wrongs." -CM: Canadian Review of Materials

"[Wilson] beautifully captures each child’s spirit and tugs at my heartstrings. Our Heroes is inspiring, powerful and thought-provoking." - Children's Books Heal

"As a teacher, I have been at a loss, at times, to know what to say when students want me to explain the injustice they see in the world. Our Heroes is an optimistic and empowering book for children who want to make a change." - Rosemary Renton, ETFO Voice (Magazine of the English Teachers' Federation of Ontario)

"This is a wonderful book that can be used to inspire children and adults to treat each other with kindness and do what we can to help one another. The children in this book all followed different paths to make a difference, but the underlying message is that the path you choose is not important but the act of giving is." - Canadian Children's Book News

"The book is informative without being overwhelming....It is definitely inspiring, as well as refreshing to give students role models who are not just celebrities, but normal children that they can identify with." -Kutztown University Book Review

"This book would be a wonderful introduction to community service or to teach students empathy as well as encouraging them to feel empowered and able to make a change in their own small corners of the world." - Literacy Daily
