Non-Fiction Memoir
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.
