Three Cups of Tea

With the first cup of tea you are a stranger.
With the second… a friend. With the third cup of tea, you are family.
N. In 1993, Greg Mortenson tried to climb K2 in honor of his younger sister, but I when another member of his group got sick, they turned around, and Greg became lost in the mountains of Pakistan. He wandered into a poor village, where the village chief and his people took him in. Moved by their kindness, he promised to return and build a school for the children. Over the next decade, Mortenson built more than sixty schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan. He has endured death threats, a kidnapping, and more to dedicate his life to building literacy and peace, one child at a time.
This YOUNG READER’S EDITION of the worldwide bestseller Three Cups of Tea has been adapted for younger readers and updated to bring Greg’s remarkable story to life with new photos and illustrations, a glossary, and an exclusive interview with Greg’s twelve-year-old daughter, Amira, who has traveled with her father.
