Cậu nhóc gặt gió là một câu chuyện có thật đáng chú ý về sự sáng tạo của con người cũng như sức mạnh của niềm tin để vượt qua nghịch cảnh. Cuốn sách này sẽ truyền cảm hứng cho bất cứ ai còn nghi ngờ về sức mạnh quyết tâm của một cá nhân dám đứng lên để thay đổi và cải thiện cuộc sống của cả một cộng đồng.

Now a Netflix film starring and directed by Chiwetel Ejiofor, this is a gripping memoir of survival and perseverance about the heroic young inventor who brought electricity to his Malawian village.

When a terrible drought struck William Kamkwamba's tiny village in Malawi, his family lost all of the season's crops, leaving them with nothing to eat and nothing to sell. William began to explore science books in his village library, looking for a solution. There, he came up with the idea that would change his family's life forever: he could build a windmill. Made out of scrap metal and old bicycle parts, William's windmill brought electricity to his home and helped his family pump the water they needed to farm the land.

Retold for a younger audience, this exciting memoir shows how, even in a desperate situation, one boy's brilliant idea can light up the world. Complete with photographs, illustrations, and an epilogue that will bring readers up to date on William's story, this is the perfect edition to read and share with the whole family.
