The Boy Who Changed the World
- Adam Andrews, 8 years old"My daddy read The Boy Who Changed the World to me and I loved it. This is the best book he has ever written!"
Everything You Do Matters
Who would dream that a boy playing in Iowa cornfields would save the lives of more than two billion people? This is the incredible story of Nobel laureate Norman Borlaug, a simple boy with a desire to feed the hungry – but Borlaug couldn’t have accomplished this without the help of Vice President Henry Wallace, who was influenced by inventor George Washington Carver, who in turn was rescued by farmer Moses Carver.
The Boy Who Changed the World reveals the incredible truth that everything YOU do matters – what you did yesterday, what you do today, and what you will do tomorrow. Every choice you make, good or bad, can make a difference. In this engaging tale, bestselling author Andy Andrews shows children that every action, however big or small, can have a ripple effect around the world.
"This book will stir the imaginations of young readers curious about their future."
