Book reading at Paris Public Library

This is a true story about the author who was brought up in drought-ridden Malawi, Africa. At the age of 14, William became a hero to his village by creating a way to pump water out of the ground, with little to nothing to work with.

Children will also listen to Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain, by Verna Aardema, an African folktale about another boy hero who provided water for his drought-stricken home.
