Inspring story
The Boy Who Hardness the wind review: On starting I thought it will be harl because there was soo many pages and my father encouraged me to read the book then I started to read. At first, they said about the family and himself on staring I was fun but after that one chapter came it almost made me cry. Because the people in the village started to suffer for food and then another was killing the DOG and then it became good. like going to the library and then he started to read about the windmill.They said how the windmill worked and what metals were used. And then the NEWS reporters cane and shredded the NEWS that is a boy made a working windmill.And then he went to college and he said that he learned about networks and more. it is good to book Thank you Vijayalayan

Excellent book to read for young reader
I purchased this book for my son. The book starts with William's childhood, which portrait his village condition perfectly. Slowly book turn towards famine in Africa in 2001. How people struggled to get their daily live? How does starvation looks like? How comfortable are we? Then next segment comes, which is real meat of the crazy boy. The book has been written with simple English & emotional enough to understand his pain & their village pain. Dont forget to watch his video in TED talks, also find 2009 video as well. You can visually feel how he turned himself in 2 years of time period.

I found this was a great book for any age. I’ve used it as a class novel study and the kids enjoy it. It’s great for connections to the science curriculum, not just language. Paired with the movie, it works as a great school resource or just an interesting and inspiring story for anyone to learn about.

Libro con contenuto bellissimo, stimolante e utile . Parla di un ragazzo africano e di un’idea geniale che ha aiutato tutto il suo paese. Libro rilegato male. Pagine che si staccano facilmente

A must read. The NETFLIX movie doesn't do it justice.

This book is a true story, describing lives many of us could not even start to imagine. An excellent book and an eye-opener for our entitled young generation. A truly moving, encouraging, and motivating story.

Diese Geschichte ist einfach Wahnsinn. Unglaublich was dieser Junge durchgemacht hat und trotzdem so erfolgreich geworden ist. Trotz der Hungernot und der allgemeinen Armut und keiner Schulausbildung baut er eine Windmühle aus Teilen vom Schrottplatz. Das Wissen holt er sich aus Büchern aus der Bibliothek. Diesen Mut, diese Stärke und diese Willenskraft haben ihn schließlich zu einem wichtigen Mann in seinem Land gemacht. Respekt- da kann man wirklich nur mehr den Hut ziehen.
