### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book to read for young reader
*by S***V on 23 August 2020*

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.
