Greg Mortenson stumbled, lost and delirious, into a remote Himalayan village after a failed climb up K2. The villagers saved his life, and he vowed to return and build them a school. From that rash, heartfelt promise grew one of the most incredible humanitarian campaigns of our time: Greg Mortenson's one-man mission to counteract extremism and terrorism by building schools - especially for girls - throughout the breeding ground of the Taliban.

The chronicle of his entire incredible experience, Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace... One School at a Time , has been a consistent New York Times bestseller and has sold over 3.2 million copies.

This beautiful book is the story of Greg's first building project in the village that saved his life - the remarkable story of his promise kept, 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 a riveting example of how one person can change thousands of lives.

Includes superb full-colour collages by Susan L Roth.
