From Ashima Shiraishi, one of the world's youngest and most skilled climbers, comes a true story of strength and perseverance--in rock climbing and in life.
Ashima Shiraishi started climbing at the age of six, and today she
is one of the best climbers in the world. She is the first and only
female climber ever to ascend a V15 bouldering problem, earning
praise from Outside magazine as "a young crusher" and the New York
Times as a "bouldering phenom." This is her first picture book.
Yao Xiao is a China-born illustrator based in New York City. Her
work has appeared in Time, EW, National Geographic, and The Wall
Street Journal, among other outlets, and she is also the author of
the monthly web comic Baopu. This is her first picture book.
