THE BOY WHO CHANGED THE WORLD

‘The Boy Who Changed The World’ by Andy Andrews and illustrated by Philip Hurst is not about just one boy but four in all who each indirectly had an effect on each others’ lives. All four- Norman Borlaug, Henry Wallace, George Washington Carver (not the GEORGE WASHINGTON) and Moses Carver were famous by their own right but the fact that they each had a role to play in their fates in general has been fantastically brought forward by this book.

Though essentially a children’s book, ‘The Boy Who Changed The World’ has great depth to the message it conveys and can be read by all. The illustrations by Philip Hurst add a new dimension to the appeal of the book. The most important message that it seeks to convey is that every decision that we take whether good or bad has a result and consequence akin to the flapping of the wings of a butterfly. So before taking one it is prudent to think about the future repercussions.
