The Butterfly Effect

Very familiar with the idea of the butterfly effect, where the wind of a butterfly on one side of the world could change the course on the other, I was extremely excited to see what Andy Andrews had to say with this title. I was amazed at what I found. Andrews did his research and wove the stories of the lives of men and women throughout history who created one path of change and therefore led others in history to continue with forward movement. He carefully unfolds the story through use of different font, short phrases (cliffhangers) on each page, and use of illustrations brings to life the emotions each historical character may of felt at the awe of hard work paid off. It was a joy to read, and a wonderful coffee table book. Definitely a conversation starter!

The Boy Who Changed the World!

As a children's version of the newest book on The Butterfly Effect, The Boy Who Changed the World hold captivation imagery. A story line of how one person gave life to another person's idea, begging a history long story line of inventions changing our ways of life could be nothing short of proof of God's creativity. Yes the tapestry of God's plan continues to unfold in the most unique ways even outside the circle of Christianity. He is the very one who created the idea of 6 degrees of separation. I would highly recommend this book for children who are either in love with history or need to find truth and fun in history. It is a little long winded for the younger crowd, however intrigue in how each invention and how it had come from something previous will hold even the most ADHD child. My child is currently 3, however this will be one book I will be honored to pull out in a few years for her!
