" . . . An informative look - underscored with lively photographs - at the history and future
of Mount Everest, a sacred place for locals, overtaiken by adventurous tourism, and currently suffering the high price of
so-called modern progress." ~ Terry Hong, Media Arts Consultant. Book Dragon Blog

From the Northwest
Asian Weekly:
" . . . When it comes to children’s books, many have the common assumption that these books can’t
offer children more than a cute story and pages of colorful illustrations.
However, writers like Christine Taylor-Butler have become attuned to the demands and importance of creating books
that entertain as well as educate. In Taylor-Butler’s book, students have the opportunity to advance their knowledge
of cultures and societies."
