Some are not just to mom, or dad, or from your two wise daughters. One dedication in particular is my favorite, because it ties the author to the story.
The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint−Exupery
> I ask the indulgence of the children who may read this book for dedicating it to a grown−up. I have a serious reason: he is the best friend I have in the world. I have another reason: this grown−up understands everything, even books about children. I have a third reason: he lives in France where he is hungry and cold. He needs cheering up. If all these reasons are not enough, I will dedicate the book to the child from whom this grown−up grew. All grown−ups were once children−− although few of them remember it. And so I correct my dedication:
> To Leon Werth when he was a little boy
