“The Kid 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.”
My boys loved taking a few minutes out of their afternoon to dig into this book. The illustrations in this book kept my 5 year old’s attention while big brother read it to him. The pages are fabulous!
Based on a true story, The Kid Who Changed the World is perfect for ages 4-8. I asked the boys what they could do to change the world. Check out their response. (excuse the dirty faces)
