I think the book could be interesting and educational for children, it just doesn't carry the punch it should because there are no photographs - only cut paper collages. While I certainly do appreciate the artistic value of the illustrations, part of the allure of Everest is seeing the majestic, and terrifyiing, landscape. Keep the wondreful collages, just add some photographs. The Khumbu Icefall just can't be captured in a collage.
