Roth"Review"The minimal text is splendidly paired with Susan L. Roth's textural, earth-toned collages, which evoke the roughness of the terrain and the primitive quality of life there." "The remarkable account of this quest, which involved constructing a bridge and manually carrying supplies to the building site, is magnificently enhanced by Roth's colorful collages. As explained in an artist's note, she incorporated fabric, bits of paper, and other fibers into the scenery in appreciation of the Balti people's aesthetic use of scraps...This truly exceptional and moving title should not be missed." Publisher's noteTells the true story of a man who became lost and delirious after an unsuccessful trek to the top of K2, was saved by the locals of a remote Himalayan village, and kept his vow to return one day to build them a new school as a gesture of sincere appreciation and gratitude for what they did for him in his time of need. AnnotationBased on the incredible story told in Greg Mortenson's book for adults, THREE CUPS OF TEA, this picture book adaptation shares the story of a Westerner lost in Pakistan who finds his way to a village, where his life, and the village's, is utterly transformed. After a failed attempt to climb K2, Greg Mortenson ends up in the village of Korphe, where the children had only sticks and dirt for schoolwork. "Dr. Greg" decides he must dedicate himself to building them a school, and an inspiring partnership begins. With resources and accompanied by stunning, jewel-colored collage that jumps off the page.
