We’ve been learning about people who overcome challenges, and Junko Tabei’s story is the perfect inspiration! She didn’t just climb mountains—she changed the world while doing it.
As the first woman to summit Mount Everest, she proved that with determination, we can achieve anything. But what makes her story even more meaningful is her dedication to protecting the very mountains she conquered. From leading clean-up expeditions to planting apple trees in Nepal for sustainable livelihoods, she fought for the environment every step of the way.
Yuko Shimizu’s breathtaking illustrations beautifully capture Anita Yasuda’s poetic storytelling—bringing Junko’s journey to life. A reminder that our dreams can grow, just like hers did, from climbing peaks to protecting ecosystems. Up, up, and ever up!
