A portion of all book sales for this event will be donated to Mortenson's Pennies for Peace project. Two new children's books by Greg Mortenson will be released on January 22nd.

The Book Beat/ Three Cups of Tea event is part of a limited seven city tour, to announce the publication of two new Greg Mortenson books about his experience in the Middle-East, adaptations aimed to promote concepts of peace and the understanding of different cultures for younger children. Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Journey to Change the World... One Child at a Time (Paperback) is a young adult adaptation (for ages 8 and up) that brings his remarkable story of humanitarianism up-to-date.
It includes brand-new photos, maps, and illustrations, as well as a special afterword by Greg's twelve-year-old daughter, Amira, who has traveled with her father as an advocate for the Pennies for Peace program for children. Release date: January 22nd, advanced orders encouraged.
