The Girl Who Climbed The Tallest Mountain  - nearly done!

@artofsuri has nearly finished the final artwork (a few tweaks of the cover left). We were commissioned by Think Equal to tell the story of Jayanthi Kuru-Utumpala, the first and only Sri Lankan to summit Everest.

The Girl Who Climbed The Tallest Mountain 

@artofsuri​ and I are working on a non-fiction children's book for Think Equal about Jayanthi Kuru-Utumpala, the first Sri Lankan to summit Mount Everest.

Jayanthi's story is one of skill and grit; facing the toughest climb of her life and the grinding social pressure of being a female mountain climber.

The book will be provided free to Sri Lankan schools and be sold online by Sri Lankan publisher M.D. Gunasena later this year. Exciting times!
