They Boy who Changed the World

They Boy who Changed the World by Andy Andrews is a great book for young children. It tells them that although they may not realize it now, the actions they are doing today will change the futures of others not just in the surrounding areas to where they live, but throughout the world.

The book looks at the lives of Moses Carver, George Washington Carver, Henry Wallace, and Norman Borlaug. Through the actions of all of these individuals came the creation of special seeds which were able to provide plants to feed two billion people throughout the world. The book looks at how all of these individuals’ lives were intertwined.

The pictures in this book were very cute, and I can see them being enjoyed by young children as they are read the book. I liked the historical aspect of the book too, as it focused on individuals that were vital to this country. I cannot wait to give this book to one of my younger relatives as a gift! I am sure they will enjoy it!!
