Description
"Little William loved school, but when problems hit the family farm in Malawi, there wasn't enough money to pay for his education. He kept learning on his own, and after reading that windmills could make electricity, he built one using scrap parts. William shared his knowledge to help his village, his country, and beyond, changing lives and showing the power of curiosity. This incredible story of the inventor features a fact and photo section at the back"--,Provided by publisher.
