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 climber's life. Little

But she discovers soccer and immerses herself in the game – even
making the boys’ team. It is only after she enrols at the
University of Pretoria that her life changes completely. Away from
village life, she impresses on the track and is noticed as a
talent, eventually meeting Coach Daniels in whom she finds a

With his mum's message of 'go out and earn it' ringing in his ears,
Michael practised all summer. Soon he was the star of the team,
going from school, to college, to the Olympics. After six titles,
more than 1,000 games and exactly 32,292 points, MJ had become a
sporting legend, who encouraged kids to 'make it happen!' This
inspiring book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra
facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with
