From Ashima Shiraishi, one of the world's youngest and most skilled climbers, comes a true story of strength and perseverance--in rock climbing and in life. <p/>To a rock climber, a boulder is called a "problem," and you solve it by climbing to the top. There are twists and turns, falls and scrapes, and obstacles that seem insurmountable until you learn to see the possibilities within them. And then there is the moment of triumph, when there's nothing above you but sky and nothing below but a goal achieved. <p/>Ashima Shiraishi draws on her experience as a world-class climber in this story that challenges readers to tackle the problems in their own lives and rise to greater heights than they would have ever thought possible.

Ashima Shiraishi started climbing at the age of 6, and today, at only 17, she is widely considered to be one of the best climbers in the world. She is the first female climber to ascend a V15 route, earning praise from Outside magazine as "a young crusher" and The New York Times as a "bouldering phenom." She is considered a strong contender to compete in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. <p/>Yao Xiao is a China-born illustrator based in New York City. Her work has appeared in Time, EW, National Geographic, and The Wall Street Journal, among other outlets, and she is also the author of the monthly web comic Baopu. This is her first picture book.
