William Kamkwamba: The Boy Who Caught the Wind
High on a tower of scrap metal, a fourteen-year-old touches two wires together and pulls electricity out of the wind. Meet William Kamkwamba: a boy in Malawi who taught himself from library books to build a windmill out of junk and light up his village. The big idea: you don't need money or permission, just a question you can't stop asking and the nerve to build. A true story for curious kids, ages 6 and up. Part of Little Mavericks.
