Product Description
Dr. Greg stumbled, lost and delirious, in a remote Himalayan village after a failed climb up K2. The villagers saved his life so he vowed to return and build them a school. This remarkable story of his promise kept is now perfect for reading aloud. Told in the voice of Korphe's children, this story illuminates the humanity and culture of a relevant and distant part of the world in gorgeous collage, while sharing an exciting example of how one person can change thousands of lives.

"Listen to the Wind" is a very creative small children's version of Greg Mortenson's wonderful book "Three Cups of Tea." The illustrations in "Listen to the Wind" are breathtaking. My 5 yr old granddaughter was in awe of children doing their lessons outside in a circle, scratching numbers in the dirt with sticks.
A great book for kids on philanthropy and making a difference in the world April 22, 2010

This book is wonderfully illustrated and well written. I had already read the adult version of Three Cups of Tea so I could have been biased by my strongly positive impression of the adult version. However, bias aside, this is really nicely illustrated. And the story, while not as entertaining as pure fiction, is quite compellingly told. I read it to my 7 year old, and am also purchasing it for all three of my kids' classrooms as the end of year gift this year. I strongly recommend this book to all who want to educate their children in ways to make a difference in this world.

After reading Three Cups of Tea I bought a copy of Listen to the Wind for one of my grandchildren. The story and illustrations were beautiful and delightful. Thie story should motivate children to help others less fortunate by starting the project "Pennies for Peace." In addition, it helps them develop a global view. I bought three more copies for my other grandchildren. One daughter-in-law said she read it herself six times before she gave it to her son's teacher to read to the entire class. Great book! Buy it for some child you want to motivate.
Great book! February 17, 2010

This book is beautifully illustrated and great for children. It does a wonderful job telling the story of Three Cups of Tea, Mortenson's original book, in a way children can understand.
