THE BOY WHO CHANGED THE WORLD BOOK REVIEW

The Boy Who Changed the World

by Andy Andrews

Published by Tommy Nelson

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 Review:

I love reading books to my kids. My 5 year old doesn't have much self confidence and is always looking for recognition and reassurance. The Boy Who Changed the World is a great book to boost any child's confidence! Why? After reading the butterfly effect trickling down from each story and then at the end of the story telling children that they do matter and why they do matters! That God made each and every one of His creations for a special reason and a purpose.  Also as a homeschool mom I also like the history this book offers!
