How to Change the World

I don't think there are many topics beyond the realm of children. It is never too early to start teaching kids how they can make a positive change in the world. Enter Weezer.

Weezer Changes the World is a great picture book by David McPhail that takes an every day dog who does every day dog things in his every day dog life and through a chance lightning strike (call it epiphany) becomes more interested in the human aspect of the world - like math, gravity, science, the arts, philanthropy, and of course world peace.

Weezer can't do it all by himself and eventually has to go back to being the simple dog who tinkles on the carpet. But Weezer has already changed the world and given everybody the right idea about making the world a better place.

This is a simple but profound little book that I want on the book shelf all the time to keep reminding our kids that they shape their world.
