Description

Tenzing Norgay was born with a dream to reach the top of the highest mountain in the world. As a young boy, he spent his days tending to his family's yaks and gazing up at the Himalayan mountains, imagining what it would be like to stand on the summit. Years later, Tenzing joined many other Sherpas who were offering to take Europeans up Mount Everest, also known as Chomolungma. He went on many expeditions, some more dangerous than others, but never gave up his dream. At 39, he was joined by Edmund Hilary and became the first two people to reach the summit of Chomolungma. This inspiring book features stylish illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos. It's part of the Little People, BIG DREAMS series, which explores the lives of outstanding people who achieved incredible things despite beginning life as children with a dream.
