This is an inspirational story of the lives of several different men and how they each ended up changing the world. The message of each story is that every single thing that each of us do, no matter how small, effects the ultimate outcome of many lives. Like a butterflies wings fluttering can create the tiny breeze that will ultimately end in a hurricane on the other side of the world, we each have a drastic effect on others by the small actions and decisions we make each day. In the case of the men in this book, each made a decision to help someone, and the repercussions of each of those men helping someone was that the world was changed for the better. This concept is a little hard for younger kids to grasp, and therefore some of the story could be lost on a child under the age of maybe eight. The youngest will enjoy the full color pictures even if they might not “get” it. For older kids, this is a fantastic and inspirational tale of how their own life and every choice they make will also change the world. I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an unbiased review.
