Andy Andrews has put out a new smalll gift book that is just lovely... it talks about "The Butterfly Effect" ... & Yes, I too thought, "isnt that a movie with Ashton Kutcher?"... yes it is & no, Ashton isnt part of this book. :)
But the idea of the butterfly effect is that the smallest differences, smallest changes, smallest motions can cause the biggest changes in conditions... such a neat idea
The Butterfly Effect is a small book that gives some stories of real people and of this idea... with beautiful pictures & subtle words... It only takes a minutes out of your day to read this whole book but the point is made over & over:
EVERY SINGLE THING YOU DO MATTERS!!!
Mr. Andrews also wrote a childrens book with the same idea, called The Boy who Changed the World... I was so excited to get this for our grandson. He will be coming up for a visit in October & I'll most definitely be reading this to him. The story is similar to the gift book, but with wonderful illustrations that are beautiful & captivating to the eye.
I love the idea of having children realize from such a young age of the impact they can make on the world.
All of it goes back to this quote in the book:
"There are generation yet unborn whose very lives will be shifted & shaped by the moves you make & the actions you take today. And tomorrow. And the next day. And the next.
I most definitely recommend these books - for a gift of reminding for adults & a gift of teaching for young hearts that need to know the power they hold in their actions.

Oh thank you so much for these recommendations! These are just the kinds of books I like to read to my daughter. I too think it's important for children to learn young about their true potential, and to dream big. That's wonderful!
I agree with the general premise of the book. We sometimes forget how much of a difference our actions make. Will definitely check it out.
