Mount Everest is undoubtedly one of the most famous mountains on
Earth. Hundreds of people clamber to its summit every year,
following in Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay's footsteps... but
there is so much more to this mountain than the people who climb
it. With sumptuous and stylish illustrations by Lisk Feng, this
dynamic book reveals the great mountain's ancient origins, the
flora and fauna that thrive upon its great flanks, and the rich
mythology of Sagarmatha, the Goddess of the Sky.
This beautifully-written rhyming picture book, illustrated with
brilliantly colored paintings, celebrates the unique talents,
gifts, and potential possessed by each child. Children of all
ethnicities, cultures, and physical abilities will find
encouragement to learn and excel within these pages. Written by a
mom and educator, Every Child Is Gifted contains affirmation and
inspiration for fellow educators and parents who seek to identify
and cultivate children's interests, gifts, and abilities, which
promise to eventually blossom into their purpose and enable them to
help others. Most importantly, Every Child Is Gifted is an
invitation to see beyond children's exteriors and backgrounds to
discover the treasure within. After all, one can never judge a book
by its cover...
