His family didn't have enough money for food, let alone school, so William spent his days in the library. He came across a book on windmills and figured out how to build a windmill that could bring electricity to his village. Everyone thought he was crazy but William persevered and managed to create a functioning windmill out of junkyard scraps. Several years later he figured out how to use the windmill for irrigation purposes"-- 850 Lexile W Raz-Plus Famine Innovation Determination Engineering Zunon, Elizabeth illustrator ddc BK 0 6969 6969 0 0 ddc 0 0 JUVF 002 002 SBS 2025-06-12 0 KAM 621.4 TJ140.K36 A3 2025-1598 2025-06-12 10:48:57 1 2025-06-12 BK 0 0 ddc 0 0 JUVF 002 002 SBS 2025-09-09 0 KAM 621.4 TJ140.K36 A3 FIS01956 2025-09-09 11:12:14 2 2025-09-09 BK
