The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind

This month's pick is "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind" by William Kamkwamba & Bryan Mealer


 
I’m really looking forward to this book, I chose it because it is inspirational and I’m feeling like I need to be inspired.  It’s a true story of a kid named William Kamkwamba, born in Malawi, Africa. Using an old science textbook, scrap metal, old tractor parts and other junk he sets out to build a windmill and a water pump. His ingenuity transforms a whole village and inspires people around the world.
