Learn all about the first woman to summit Mount Everest in Up, Up, Ever Up! Junko Tabei: A Life in the Mountains, the gorgeous new picture book by ANITA YASUDA & illustrated by Caldecott Honor artist YUKO SHIMIZU! In this trailblazing title, we meet Junko Tabei, who dreamed of a life climbing mountains. But men refused to climb with her. Sponsors told her to stay home. And gloves were not made to fit her hands. However, Junko was eager and unstoppable and wouldn’t let these obstacles get in her way!
