The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, Young Reader’s Edition

About This Book

William Kamkwamba was just a teenager when drought and famine struck his small village in Malawi, forcing him to leave school. But instead of giving up, he made his way to the library and discovered books on physics and engineering that sparked an ingenious idea: he could build a windmill from scrap metal and bicycle parts to generate electricity and save his family’s crops. This inspiring young readers edition, illustrated throughout, tells the true story of how one boy’s determination transformed his village.
