Sobre este artículo
New York, NY: Dial Books for Young Readers, 2012. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Zunon, Elizabeth. Clean, tight, unmarked; appears as knew; Heroes can be of any age. When William Kamkwamba was 14 years old, living in a drought-ravaged area of Malawi in Africa, he pursued a dream that brough electricity and running water to his desperately poor village. Lyrically told and gloriously illustrated, William's story shows how - no matter how young you are or how huge the challenge - creativity, determination, and hard work can help save your world.
Sinopsis
When fourteen-year-old William Kamkwamba's Malawi village was hit by a drought, everyone's crops began to fail. Without enough money for food, let alone school, William spent his days in the library . . . and figured out how to bring electricity to his village. Persevering against the odds, William built a functioning windmill out of junkyard scraps, and thus became the local hero who harnessed the wind. Lyrically told and gloriously illustrated, this story will inspire many as it shows how - even in the worst of times - a great idea and a lot of hard work can still rock the world.
