Boy Who Harnessed The Wind : Young Readers Edition - By William Kamkwamba & Bryan Mealer ( Paperback )

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind 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.

Determined to find a solution, William began exploring science books in his village library, and it was there that he came up with the idea of building 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.
