The Boy who Changed the World

The Boy Who Changed the World, was a wonderful book to show children the impact they can make on others. The book talks about how different people have impacted the lives of others. The book would be better to read to children in 2nd grade and up. Any younger and I don’t think it would hold the child’s interest. My 4th grader really enjoyed the book, and it opened up a discussion on how he could impact others around him. The illustrations in the book were amazing, and my kindergarten enjoyed looking at the pictures. My older child was able to make the connection between the illustrations and the story. I think this book should be read in schools everywhere. Let’s teach children that they are important, and that they can make a difference in the world one day. Andy Andrews ends the book by saying “That means You can be the kid who changes the world”. What an awesome thing to teach kids.
