The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind

Author: William Kamkwamba and Bryan Mealer

This story about a boy growing up in poverty in Malawi is an inspirational story of strength.
Setting the scene in the first part of the book helps the reader to understand the environment William lived in. William had a curious mind growing up and the book illustrates how to be resourceful in his situation. The book also reminds us of the difference one person can make in this world, and aligns very well with the theme of SDG 7, which are Affordable and Clean Energy and where we are all encouraged to live more sustainably in our beautiful world.
