Kami and the Yaks by: Andrea Stenn Stryer
Kami and the Yaks is a story based partially on factual information about a group of people called the Sherpas. This book was one that offers hope and inner strength and proves that one can overcome a disability. Kami is a young Sherpa boy who is deaf. He lives in Himalaya with his father and brother, Norgay. The family earns a living by taking hikers into the mountains on guided tours. One morning as they wake to load the yaks for a trip, they discover that the yaks are missing. Father and Norgay go out looking but Kami knows that the yaks like to go to the meadow and decides to go out on his own to find the yaks and bring the back home. Kami takes out a silver whistle which he received as a gift and starts to whistle, except Curly Horn does not come. Kami begins to hunt for the yaks despite the fact that a storm is brewing. Kami finds the yaks and realized that the littlest yak, White Spot, has her leg caught between two rocks. Kami runs home through the storm, fighting off the hail to his father. After he acts out what the situation is they all run back to rescue the yaks. When they are rescued, Kami, lead everyone home. Kami felt proud and extremely excited that he finally proved to his father he can be successful and helpful and he knew at the moment that his father was proud of him.
