Every Child Deserves a Champion

“Every Child Deserves a Champion is written by a champion: Bob Danzig has inspired thousands of Americans, including me, by the exemplary life he has led, his popular lectures and his evocative books. Now, once again, this talented author has found a delightful and entertaining way to share with us an enduring truth: each of us can be a champion in this life.”

—Walter Anderson, chairman and CEO,
Parade Magazine

“Bob Danzig expertly identified the champion in us by showing what and who champions really are. They are those who teach us of courage and goodness, and they are found right within us every time we reach higher, lift another, and seek further. Bob’s belief that we’re all champions in the making is both uplifting and contagious!”

—Sharlene Hawkes, former Miss America;
award-winning ESPN reporter;
motivational speaker and author

What happens when a child has a champion? In Bob Danzig’s case, he went from being a foster child to being the nationwide head of The Hearst Newspaper Group and vice president of The Hearst Corporation.

When Bob was twelve years old, Mae Morse, the foster care professional moving him from his fourth foster home to his fifth, told him, “You are worthwhile.” For the first time in his life, Bob felt a sense of self worth. And, from that moment on, those words were tattooed on his spirit, staying with him his entire life.

Rather than muscles of steel, or the ability to leap over tall building in a single bound, most of the champions in life are individuals whose strength is their kindness—their compassion for the well-being of others. Every Child Deserves a Champion—Including the Child Within You! is a testimonial to all those who have experienced positive changes because someone chose to champion them or because they championed someone else. It is also Bob’s hope that Every Child Deserves a Champion encourages others to embrace every opportunity to be a champion, regardless of age, as each of us always has some of the child within us.
