"I read the adult version of this book, Three Cups of Tea. I loved the story, but thought the book was poorly written. Perhaps it should have been a magazine article rather than a story. Or perhaps a stronger writer should have taken it on. But the grownup version was a disappointment.
Like Three Cups of Tea, I really wanted to like this book. The story is a powerful one. An American climber is unable to carry on and comes upon a village where the people nurse him back to health. He wants to find a way to repay the village. One of the village wise men suggests that he listen to the wind. The climber hears children's voices, studying outdoors, with no school, no pencils or books, and only the occasional teacher. The climber commits to returning to the village and building a school for the children.
Once I read the artist's note, I came to love the fabric collages used for illustration.
The children I read the story to liked the story and admired the man who came to help the children who had no schools. They had mixed feelings about the illustrations.
A Sample: 'When Dr. Greg was well enough to go Home, he asked Haji Ali, our wisest man, To help him think of something special He could do for Korphe. Haji Ali answered Dr. Greg with a puzzle. "LISTEN TO THE WIND," he said.'
Children's Comments: Lily, 7, said, "I liked the part when they built the bridge." Ashlyn, 6, said, "I liked the pictures." David, 6, said, "I liked it when they built the school." Trenton, 5, said, "The pictures were good where the man was climbing the mountain." Kylea, 6, said, "I liked the illustrations."
"This year's Common Read for our community is Three Cups of Tea. I won the children's version of it from our library. It was a beautiful book, both visually and textually.
This was a touching children's book about Greg Mortenson building a school for the children in one village in Pakistan. I loved how the story was written like one child talking to another. The collage artwork was beautiful."
"This is a shorten version of Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace... One School at a Time. A wonderful story how one person can make a difference and with a little team work anything can be completed. This would be a good book to share with kids especially before a service project. In fact, the book offers information on Pennies for Peace."
"I am finishing reading Three Cups of Tea - the book that this children's book is based on. In many ways, I enjoyed this children's book even better than the adult non-fiction. I recommend this to everyone. There is much to learn about helping cultures grow and change as well as learning what we can from them. This is my favorite book right now."
