learning something new; being chosen for your smile; working hard to become good ( )

Ding. Norgay was a mountain climber. He started out as a child who just loved to look at Mount Everest and knew that that it was his mountain. He was the Sherpa helping Edward Hilary reach the top of Mount Everest. It took 20 years, but he did it. This is when I think Little People Big dreams is at its best. When it introduces us to people that are not in standard school history books. ( )

Less simply written than some of the others in this series, but that is most definitely a good thing. The extended descriptions allow for a greater variety of illustrations as this bravely adventurous boy grew older to become better than famous.
The illustrations by Bandana Tulachan are fun, simple, colorful, and delightful.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or your local public library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from Quarto Publishing Group/Frances Lincoln Children's Books via NetGalley. Thank you!
