RATING : Thumbs Up!
REVIEW:
This is a wonderfully illustrated story that clearly explains the positive impact that Dr. Greg Mortenson had on the community of Korphe, Pakistan. Included are real pictures of Mortenson's endeavor to pay the small village back for their kindness. Dr. Mortenson ended up in the Pakistan village after becoming lost while trying to climb K2. The villagers saved Dr. Mortenson and nursed him back to health. Dr. Mortenson wanted to do something to repay them for their kindness. The village's wise man told Mortenson to "listen to the wind." That is when Mortenson heard the voices of the school children having lessons outside. His soul was filled with desire to build them a school. He kept his promise! This story is told by the children of Korphe and it will touch the hear of all who read it. I strongly encourage all librarians to have this book in their collection.
