Les Miserables by Victor Hugo is a great read for a young change maker. After Jean Valjean gets out of prison, one man's kindness is enough to turn his life into one of selflessness. Through kindness, love, and devotion he becomes a new man.

Jean Valjean is pursued by the ghosts of his past and one man who is determined to send him back to prison. Could Jean Valjean's compassion be so powerful that it could influence the very people determined to bring him down?

As you may know I think picture books say in just a few words what many poigniot novels say in a few hundred pages. As a book junkie I think lots of great longer books deserve more attention but the most unsong literature of all are the books with illustrations.

Check out this breif bedtime read which is sure to make you smile, think of another, and, hopefully, take action.
