Little People, Big Dreams: Tenzing Norgay by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara & Bandana Tulachan. Let’s introduce the youngest dreamers to one of the first two people to reach the summit of Mount Everest in 1953 with the Little People, Big Dreams: Tenzing Norgay book.
When Tenzing was young, he spent much of his childhood tending to the family’s yaks and gazing up at the Himalaya mountains, dreaming of the day he would reach the top.
Once he grew up, he joined many other Sherpas who were offering to take Europeans up the highest mountain of all – Mount Everest, also known as Chomolungma, the Tibetan word for ‘Mother Goddess of the World’. It was the chance he needed to make his childhood dream a reality. He went on many expeditions, some more dangerous than others, but Tenzing never gave up his dream to reach the top of the highest peak.
He was 39 when he was joined by Edmund Hilary and they became the first two people to reach the summit of Chomolungma. Tenzing came back down the mountain as one of the most respected mountain climbers and a hero across the world.
The hardcover books have longer sentences, extending the stories for beginning readers. Your little one will enjoy the stylish and quirky illustrations as you read the engaging story of this fascinating icon. With extra facts about Steve's life at the back, it’s a great educational pick.
This series makes the lives of these role models accessible for children, providing a powerful message to inspire the next generation of outstanding people who will change the world!
