New “Susie’s Book Nook” YouTube Episode! The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind (2 versions)

There is a new ‘Susie’s Book Nook’ children’s book review live on YouTube!

The book reviewed by Susie this week is: The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind was written by William Kamkwamba and Bryan Mealer and they actually wrote two versions. One is a Picture Book for ages 5 to 9 illustrated by Elizabeth Zunon and the other is a Young Reader’s Edition for ages 10 to 14.

“This story is a wonderful adventurous tale that allows the reader to grow up with William, year by year and experience by experience. The reader cannot help but be moved by the struggles of William and his family as they survive a challenging life in Africa. The importance of connections and friendships when all may seem lost is also explored. William scavenges in a junkyard for usable parts for his inventions that capture our imaginations….

What is very exciting to me is that this story is presented in two versions. One, I used in kids camps at The Episcopal Church in Almaden, and the other one is perfect for the older teen and grownup interested in “making a difference” in a local community.”
