A Story of Courage Your Child Will Read Again and Again

Inside the launch letter, your child will discover:

  • The true story of Admiral Nelson, the one-armed, half-blind leader who refused to hide in battle
  • A beautifully illustrated hero letter, written so a 5–11 year old can understand it — without losing the depth of the real history
  • A powerful moral about courage, leadership, and doing what’s right even when it’s difficult
  • A family reading moment that sparks conversations about bravery, kindness, and standing up for what matters

“Since it is so likely children will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage. Otherwise you are making their destiny not brighter but darker.” 

— C.S. Lewis

A Reading Ritual That Brings You Together

The letter arrives and your child's eyes light up – they know that tonight is reading night before bed. It's their favourite thing and it brings you closer together each time.

Research shows that children who read with their parents from a young age do better in life.

They also have a stronger relationship with their parents. And the memories last a lifetime.

About Letters For Little Heroes

At Letters for Little Heroes, our mission is to bring families closer together and help parents raise children of good character through heroic stories and shared moments.

We believe, as Aristotle did, that a good life is not just about material comfort, but about flourishing through virtue.

Through beautifully illustrated stories of history’s heroes, we help parents nurture those same timeless virtues: courage, kindness, curiosity, resilience, and integrity, so children can grow into virtuous adults who live good lives.

Each letter, delivered to your door, is a small act of education in the ancient sense of the word: to draw out what is best within.

Frequently asked questions

We will send the letters on the first Monday of each month. The arrival of the letters is dependent upon the postal service and your location.

We post from the United Kingdom and the price, therefore, depends on your location. We aim to only charge the price of the stamp and nothing more. The cost is automatically calculated at checkout and added to the monthly cost of your subscription. We do everything we can to keep p&p costs as low as possible.

Our letters are designed for heroes and heroines.

We will deliver to wherever the post office will reliably send to. Some locations may, naturally, take longer to arrive than others.

We do not accept returns. However, if you are unhappy with the letters, you are free to cancel your subscription at any time.

You can cancel your subscription in the account management area of the website. You will find it in the navigation bar in the top left corner.

Give the gift of literacy and inspiration to a child in need

Reading is not only a fundamental life skill, it is a source of escape for millions of children in deprived situations, opening the doors of opportunity to a better life. 

We are exploring ways to help children in underprivileged circumstances as soon as Letters For Little Heroes becomes self sustaining.

We intend to donate a free subscription to a child in need for every subscriber we have, so we can bring entertainment and character development to the children who need it most.
