BOY WHO HARNESSED THE WIND
Introducing her interview with the co-authors of The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, on Monday’s Good Morning America, Diane Sawyer said, “If you do nothing else, join us now to hear the story of a young man…who had nothing around him except a dream…”
What followed was the amazing story of William Kamkwamba, who managed to create a windmill from what he had available — tractor parts, a pair of flip flops, and a bicycle wheel — to bring electricity to his impoverished village in Malawi.
You can take a moment to watch the story here.
The authors are also scheduled to appear on the Diane Rehm Show (10/1) and CBS Sunday Morning (date not yet set), as well as live events in Chicago, Seattle (including the Public Library), San Francisco and Boston.
The book was a librarian favorite at BEA.
