s8snicks 's review for:
Tenzing Norgay
by Maria Isabel Sánchez Vegara
Let me start by saying that I love the Little People Big Dreams series. Love them.
I love that they're biography for little people but I learn something in reading them too.
Did you know Tenzing Norgay? Me neither.
He was a member of the Sherpas who, from a young age, had a dream of climbing to the top of Mt. Everest.
Even though he was turned down several times and part of expeditions that didn't make it to the top, Norgay didn't give up. In 1953, after years of serving climbers and six failed attempts at the peak, Norgay reached the top.
I love that this story didn't feature on of the "white" climbers. It featured a child, a sherpa, who had a dream and didn't let failure stop him. He kept trying, even when it was hard, and was able to reach his dreams and become a bit of a legend among the climbing community.
What a story!
