From the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of Tenzing
Norgay, one of the first two people to reach the summit of Mount Everest in 1953. 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 - Chomolungma or Everest. 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. This inspiring book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a
biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the iconic mountain climbers life. Little People, BIG
DREAMS is a bestselling series of books and educational games that explore the lives of outstanding people, from
designers and artists to scientists and activists. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child with a
dream.
