Listen to the Children: The Story of Dr. Greg and Stones into Schools
Greg Mortenson has devoted his life to building schools in remote regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan. But after a horrific earthquake in Pakistan in 2005, many of the students stopped coming to school. Listen to the Children tells the story of how three kids--one in Pakistan and two in America-spoke up and helped Dr. Greg bring those schools back to life by adding desks and playgrounds.

Lyrically told in the voice of a Pakistani girl named Farzana, this heartrending story reveals how many pieces go into making a school--and how kids can make a difference by speaking up.
