This fascinating biography series for children (4-7 years) brings the thrilling figure of Tenzing Norgay (1914-1986), one of the most celebrated mountaineers.
Tenzing grew up at the base of the Himalayan Mountains in Nepal. He dreamed of climbing the highest peak of Chomolungma, and touching the sky from it. When he was seven, he heard of men from the West who wanted to climb the same peak, except they called it Everest. At thirteen, he was chosen as one of the Sherpas to join the expedition. Afterwards, he joined many other expeditions, and was nicknamed the Tiger of the Snows.
On May 29, 1953, Tenzing and Edmund Hillary made it to the summit of Everest.
Tenzing is a wonderful inspiration. His adventurous spirit, love for the mountains and caring nature for those he helped climb the mountains led him to the great achievement many dreamed of reaching but never did.
This story is an exciting inspiration for children to dream and follow their hearts. It is accompanied by charming illustrations, and presented in easy to understand way for the target audience.
