I trying to create a child theme from theme twenty thirteen. One feature I want to add in my child theme is that I can specify (via Coding) a different header image on each page.
I've [asked the same for twenty eleven theme](https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/89451/display-different-header-images-based-on-current-page) - therefore it worked (but was is was not implemented in a child theme).

Is there a way how I can do this within functions.php or do I need to override header.php like in twenty eleven?

```
<?php
    if ( is_home() ) $my_header_image = get_header_image(); //gets default header, specified in custom_header.php
    elseif ( is_page(26) ) $my_header_image =  get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory').'/images/news_header.png";
    elseif ( is_page(N) ) ...
    else $my_header_image = get_header_image(); 
?>
<img src="<?php echo $my_header_image; ?>" width="<?php echo $header_image_width; ?>" height="<?php echo $header_image_height; ?>" alt="" />

```
