AFFORDABILITY - The edition's paperback format and $6.99 price point make it a budget-friendly alternative to the hardcover edition (published in 2020).DIVERSITY - In 2021, only 10% of children's books published in the US featured Asian/Asian American characters -- according to data from the Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC). The stories that children read at a young age tell them how to view themselves in the world and inform their hopes and dreams. Junko Tabei, who was the first woman who summited Everest, is a historic example of triumph and determination.THE NATURAL WORLD - A report released in 2017 by the National Park Service showed that 78 percent of visitors were white. By presenting a diverse role model who is not only participating in the natural world but conquering it, we hope that all children will feel more welcomed on protected lands.EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES - The book includes exercises and challenges for young readers to start thinking about their own legacies. We have partnered with Cotopaxi, a mission-based outdoor company, that diverts a percentage of profits toward addressing poverty and supporting community development. FULL-COLOR ILLUSTRATION - Unlike most chapter books for this age range, this title will incorporate at least ten full-color illustrations by Montse Galbany. The pages will show Junko Tabei at all ages, the Japanese landscape, as well as a number of depictions of her experiences hiking and climbing across the globe.
