Their names were Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay and the roof of the world was Everest. <em>This is the story of how two very different yet equally determined men battled frost-biting temperatures, tumbling ice rocks, powerful winds and death-defying ridges to climb the world&#8217;s highest mountain.<\/em> <\/p>\n<p><strong>Snippet:<\/strong> What made Hillary and Tenzing&#8217;s achievement all the more remarkable was that they had triumphed where so many others had failed before. Climbers had been trying to reach the top of Everest for more than thirty years.   <\/p>\n<p>A huge amount of time, effort, and money &#8211;not to mention national pride&#8211; had been invested in these attempts. Despite this, each one had ended in disappointment, and some even in death. <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"525\" height=\"296\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1iWheE3b6qI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>See the <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/1iWheE3b6qI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">book trailer<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6536\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/asuen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/nonfiction.monday.jpg?resize=158%2C111\" alt=\"Nonfiction Monday\" width=\"158\" height=\"111\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">It&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/asuen.com\/nonfictionmonday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nonfiction Monday!<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Copyright \u00a9 2020 <a href=\"https:\/\/asuen.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anastasia Suen<\/a> All Rights Reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everest: The Remarkable Story of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay by Alexandra Stewart (Author) and Joe Todd-Stanton (Illustrator) Booktalk: In the late morning of May 29th 1953, the sun was shining brightly on the roof of the world, a gentle breeze was blowing and two men were there to witness it for the first time &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/asuen.com\/nonfictionmonday\/everest-the-remarkable-story-of-edmund-hillary-and-tenzing-norgay\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Everest: The Remarkable Story of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-740","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nonfiction-monday-round-up"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pam6qm-bW","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":1354,"url":"https:\/\/asuen.com\/nonfictionmonday\/10-at-10-the-surprising-childhoods-of-ten-remarkable-people\/","url_meta":{"origin":740,"position":0},"title":"10 at 10: The Surprising Childhoods of Ten Remarkable People","author":"Anastasia Suen","date":"June 13, 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"10 at 10: The Surprising Childhoods of Ten Remarkable People by Carlyn Beccia (Author \/ Illustrator) @ Amazon | Bookshop | IndieBound Booktalk: Audrey Hepburn, Roberto Clemente, Albert Einstein-kids know the names, but do they know what some of history's most famous figures were like at the age of ten?\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Nonfiction Monday Round-up&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Nonfiction Monday Round-up","link":"https:\/\/asuen.com\/nonfictionmonday\/category\/nonfiction-monday-round-up\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/asuen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/10at10-595x739.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/asuen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/10at10-595x739.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/asuen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/10at10-595x739.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":1174,"url":"https:\/\/asuen.com\/nonfictionmonday\/secrets-of-the-sea-the-story-of-jeanne-power-revolutionary-marine-scientist\/","url_meta":{"origin":740,"position":1},"title":"Secrets of the Sea: The Story of Jeanne Power, Revolutionary Marine Scientist","author":"@roberta3","date":"October 18, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"Looking for a new picture book biography?
