Eighteen People Changed the World is a children's poetry book that includes eighteen brightly colored illustrations of different individuals who changed the world through positivity and love. Each poem tells a character's story about doing a good deed or sharing their positive perspective and will be enjoyed by children and adults alike! The idea behind the title and the poems is that the world doesn't have to change on behalf of a world leader, a wealthy CEO, or a celebrity. The change the world needs is going to happen through the people we meet in our lives who through small gestures, change the way we see ourselves and the world around us. The last pages of the book (softcover only) include discussion and creative writing questions! Parents and their children, teachers and their students...this book is for everyone!
