The Boy Who Changed The World

“The Boy that Changed the World” is a charming story that reminds us that everything we do matters in this life. It follows waves of influence backwards to the source of there beginning. It shows that how you treat people and how you choose to care for them matters and might even matter more than you will ever know. These stories of Nobel Laureate Norman Borlaug, Vice President Henry Wallace, Inventor George Washington Carver, and Farmer Moses Carver all find themselves intertwined together by shared experiences that truly matter to the people involved. It is a good story and not overly preachy about God in all of this. It speaks more about being kind and building relationships with the people you know so that you can make a difference in their lives and possibly that may make a change in some one else’s life and so on. My sons enjoyed it and I will say it helped them realize a little more that what we do is not only about us. This will be a family reader for quite some time to come.
