PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A Philadelphia fifth-grader won a national essay contest. The theme was all about moms.
Eleven-year-old Aava Dadmarz-Parang is the winner of the American Mothers Inc. "What My Mother Means To Me" essay contest.
She wrote that her mom may not wear a cape, but she is certainly a superhero.

Aava will get to read her essay at the American Mother's Inc. Convention and receive a $500 grant to give to the nonprofit of her choice.
