Description
A gripping memoir of survival and perseverance, this book tells the story of a young inventor who brought electricity to his village in Malawi. When a devastating drought struck, William's family lost their crops, leaving them with nothing to eat. But William was determined to find a solution, and his brilliant idea changed his family's life forever.
With the help of scrap metal and old bicycle parts, William built a windmill that brought electricity to his home and helped his family pump water to farm the land. This exciting memoir shows how one boy's brilliant idea can light up the world, even in the darkest of times.
Retold for a younger audience, this edition includes photographs, illustrations, and an epilogue that brings readers up to date on William's story. A perfect edition to read and share with the whole family.
