The Boy Who Changed The World by Andy Andrews

Product 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.



Review: The Boy Who Changed The World is my first time reading anything by Andy Andrews, and even though it was a children's book I found the message very inspirational and message we often forget. That everything we do matters, Andy explains it as the Butterfly Effect. It's like every time we do something it causes a ripple effect that causes something else to happen.

Mr. Andrews shows us how ordinary people grew up to make a difference in the world, but the neat thing is that if each person in the chain of the ripple hadn't accomplished what they did then history could have turned out differently.

This is a beautifully illustrated book that will capture a youngsters attention, and then the story will give them a great message that they do matter. I would recommend this book to small children who would be captivated by the pictures to the older child up to 10 who could grasp the little history lesson along with the inspirational message.

A great book that belongs in every library. I highly recommend it.
