The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, Young Reader's Edition
Description
Now a Netflix film starring and directed by Chiwetel Ejiofor, this is a
gripping memoir of survival and perseverance about the heroic young inventor
who brought electricity to his Malawian village. When a terrible drought
struck William Kamkwamba’s tiny village in Malawi, his family lost all of the
season’s crops, leaving them with nothing to eat and nothing to sell. William
began to explore science books in his village library, looking for a solution.
There, he came up with the idea that would change his family’s life forever:
he could build a windmill. Made out of scrap metal and old bicycle parts,
William’s windmill brought electricity to his home and helped his family pump
the water they needed to farm the land. Retold for a younger audience, this
exciting memoir shows how, even in a desperate situation, one boy’s brilliant
idea can light up the world. Complete with photographs, illustrations, and an
epilogue that will bring readers up to date on William’s story, this is the
perfect edition to read and share with the whole family. Read more
