Product Description
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. The remarkable story of his promise kept is now perfect for reading aloud. Told in the voice of Korphes 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.

What a wonderful book for adults and children. The illustrations are marvelous. Pennies for Peace should be discussed in every classroom in the United States.

I bought this book for my grandsons so they could know the story of Three Cups of Tea which had so inspired me. I am so glad I did. The book opened up a wonderful and continuing discussion about children who live in other parts of the world and how their lives differ from ours. The story engaged them, and the beautiful artwork -- which has a lovely back story of its own -- intrigued them, more so with each reading. The book gently introduces children to another religion and culture, and tells a good story along the way.

I took several copies of this wonderful book to my grandsons' school and left them with each of the teachers. I read it to all the Kindergarten and First grade classes. The Second graders loved it too but the teachers wanted to read it themselves to their students. Next month I will read it to my church women's group. Adults and kids are fascinated by the pictures and, of course, the story is awesome! I would like to see everyone that buys this book to buy at least one extra one and give it away to a school or other place where kids can hear it and read it!

Our family has really enjoyed this book. My children saw me reading Three Cups of Tea and were curious. I told them the story and they wanted to know more. I had heard about this book and decided to get it for our house. The kids loved seeing the story unfold in the pictures in the book. There were photos that weren't even in the original Three Cups of Tea that I also enjoyed. My son is very interested in participating in Pennies for Peace now as well. We plan to have a copy at our school when we return.
