A Himalayan Children's Story


New Book Benefits Grassroots Projects:

Clear Sky, Red Earth: A Himalayan Story, by Sienna Craig, tells a story of life in Dolpo through the eyes of Namsel, a young girl who lived in Dolpo several centuries ago, and who grows up to be a great painter.

Tenzin Norbu, the artist whose paintings illustrate this book, comes from a long lineage of Dolpo painters. He is known for his illustrations in other children's books including Himalaya and Secret of the Snow Leopard.

A portion of the sale of this book goes to support grassroots development projects in the Himalaya.
