The boy who changed the world, by Andy Andrews, is an enjoyable picture book for the entire family. The message is simple but very profound-- the unforeseen consequences that our actions and decisions have on ourselves and others.

Funny read. I had this book sitting around my house and occasionally read a little here and there until I finished. It is a cute collection of inspirational stories that is perfect for light reading.

It's still a remarkable book, eithe...
