The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Young Readers Edition by William Kamkwamba, Bryan Mealer
5.0
informative inspiring medium-paced

A solid 5 star read.   My students are learning about green energies and although I wouldn’t have time to read the book in it’s entirety, I definitely could spotlight a few chapters for them.   

I also read the picture book; it is fantastic. 

The story centers around William Kamkwamba.   He grew up in Malawi.  During droughts and famine he devised a plan to help his family.  His determination against all odds is truly inspiring.   Today he continues to help rural towns and he  has even created the “Moving Windmills Project”.
