The Boy Who Changed the World by Andy Andrews is an inspirational childrens book explaining the extraordinary impact of individual lives. Packed full of adventure and optimism, this book delights the eyes with pages of excellent watercolor illustrations while delivering a strong moral and motivational message – earning a place on my must-gift list.

I enjoyed this childrens version of this book much more than the adult counterpart (The Butterfly Effect also by Andy Andrews). This childrens version conveys well a truth missed in the adult book: beyond realizing that our actions and choices are impactful, it’s important to realize that the inherent morality of those choices matters. For example, the mother in one story tells her son, “I’m proud of you for making a good choice today" - highlighting the truth that it’s important not just to take action, but to choose good actions over bad.
