Kami and the Yaks by Andrea Stenn is the story of a deaf boy named Kami who lives in the Himalaya Mountains. One day the yaks that he took care of didn't come home as they usually did so Kami sets off to look for them in the mountains even though he was very scared since during the search there was also a storm. As he continues in his search finally finds them stuck in the crevices and tries to help them be set free but is not strong enough. He decides to go back home to get help, but when he gets there his father is already waiting for him very upset. He tries to tell him about the yaks, but his father doesn't pay any attention to him. Kami is determined to get his message across to him instead tries to have his brother Norgay understand him. Norgay gets the message and finally the three set off to rescue the yaks!
I absolutely enjoyed the pictures in this book and Kami's determination to find the yaks and get the help that they needed to get rescued.
