Book Description:
Did you know that what you do today can change the world forever?
The Boy Who Changed the World opens with a young Norman Borlaug playing in his family’s cornfields with his sisters. One day, Norman would grow up and use his knowledge of agriculture to save the lives of two billion people. Two billion! Norman changed the world! Or was it Henry Wallace who changed the world? Or maybe it was George Washington Carver?
This engaging story reveals the incredible truth that everything we do matters! Based on The Butterfly Effect, Andy’s timeless tale shows children that even the smallest of our actions can affect all of humanity. The book is beautifully illustrated and shares the stories of Nobel Laureate Norman Borlaug, Vice President Henry Wallace, Inventor George Washington Carver, and Farmer Moses Carver. Through the stories of each, a different butterfly will appear. The book will end with a flourish of butterflies and a charge to the child that they, too, can be the boy or girl who changes the world.
My Thoughts:
This book is an instant kid favourite. From the life-like artistic drawings to the simple story that is told. The bright colourful pages draw children in and the story will help keep you there. I feel this is a story every child (adult too) needs to hear at least once in their life. So go ahead and check out this new Children's book from Andy Andrews about a little boy who may have changed more of the world than he ever intended too. (I know my life has had a positive effect from reading this book.)
A thought for all, Remember God made you to make a difference. And I believe you will!
