    This review was written for The Boy Who Changed the World.
    The Boy Who Changed the World is a delightful childrens book, telling the stories of four boys who grew up to change the world. The key message of the story is that all children can make a difference, and that every little thing we do matters. The Curriculum Guide (available on line) is for Pre-K through 2nd Grade children, but this story could definitely be read and enjoyed by any elementary aged child, and even with middle and high schoolers.The beautiful illustrations impressed me, as did the way the author connected each boys story to the next. The font is clear and easy to read, and I liked how some key points are emphasised in different fonts. The message comes through very clearly, and the story itself is easy to read. While the message is clearly a Christian one, and Gods plan for us to make a difference is clear, it was also presented in such a way that I felt comfortable reading the story in my secular classroom.

    The Boy Who Changed the WorldBy Andy AndrewsEveryone wants to make a difference in the world and this book its about a young boy who feeds 2 billion people, but not only was it him, but a line of others that were important and connected with him that helped feed the world.I enjoyed this book the pictures were great the history in the book was fun!However, it was a bit hard to follow, I had a hard time connecting the new boy to the previous boy (which made me have to flip back and forth between the pages). I started to read the story to my 3 year old daughter but she quickly lost interest in the words and just wanted to look at the pictures. I do however know some older children that would love this book. I think it helps to teach us a great lesson about the choices we make everyday of our lives.I received a free copy of this book from Thomas Nelson Publishing Company (through Book Sneeze) for the purpose of reviewing.

    I enjoyed this book immensely! The simple notion that all actions big and small affect the future in ways we never imagine is amazing. The storyline and the wonderful illustrations bring to life how all our actions affect not just ourselves, but all those around us, as well.

    Utilizing the idea of the "butterfly effect", Andy Andrews introduces us to Norman Borlaug a little boy who loved to play hide and seek in the cornfields that he grew up in or Henry Wallace who was just a little boy who loved agriculture and learning about plants, and finally he introduced us to George Washington Carver who "would roam the fields and forests of Iowa" with his professor's son.

    At the end of the book, Andrews skillfully weaves the story together sharing how George Washington Carver influenced Henry Wallace. Henry Wallace would later become Vice President and hire Norman Borlaug. Norman, on the other hand, grew up to be a man that changed the way corn was produced enabling many around the world to eat. You see, Henry Wallace was the professor's son that roamed the fields of Iowa with George Washington Carver.

    This short sweet book is a reminder of God's sovereign hand in all things and how there are no such thing as coincidence but God ordained diving appointments.

    I thouroughly enjoyed this great little book, profiling future world leaders as they were boys. I read it to my kids several times and also read it myself a lot. Whether you agree with what those men went on to accomplish is beyond the point. Andy Andrews is masterful at telling great stories that stick with you forever!

    How can one boy change the world? With the help of other boys who also changed the worldcreating the ripple effect.This book was an enchanting story of boys who influenced others to produce change as others influenced them.It is an incredibly well written, beautifully illustrated story that I highly recommend. I read it with my 9-year-old and she too thoroughly enjoyed it.The colorful illustrations are detailed and gorgeous and made it even more inviting. We noticed that each page had butterflies, but didnt know why until the end of the story where the author and illustrator tied it all together beautifully.This is an extremely well written book that teaches young people how everything they do, good and bad, effects change somewherea great reminder to make a difference for good and for God!I received a free copy of this book from the publisher for purpose of review.
