Latest book: The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind



William Kamkwamba

This is an amazing story about a young man named William Kamkwamba.
He and his family lived in a modest village in Malawi. He built a windmill
from discarded motor parts, PVC pipe, and an old bicycle wheel. John Stewart
said he is like the real life version of MacGyver. William had to overcome many
setbacks. The part in the book about his ailing dog was the roughest spot for me.
