About The Book

Colorado-based climbing partners Danielle Sarli and Amanda Hogan teamed up to create Little Climber – an illustrated children’s picture book featuring Mack – a little girl who loves climbing. She climbs trees, roofs, and basketball hoops, but is always told to get down by concerned adults. That is until one day at gym, when her teacher, Miss Hill, notices her talent for climbing and helps Mack discover that rock climbing can be a fun and safe outlet for her passion. Finally, instead of being told to come down, she’s encouraged to reach the top.

Raves and Reviews

Who doesn’t love the feeling of being “on top of the world”? But let’s be honest — not everyone has the courage to actually climb up high, especially not a tree or the side of a cliff. If I were to try rock climbing with my fearless children, this would be the kind of book to help me prepare.

The story gently introduces the basics of climbing through the eyes of a brave little girl discovering her strength and what she’s capable of. And for parents like me, it also quietly acknowledges the biggest concern: safety. The book includes beginner climbing terms at the end, and it’s just the right mix of inspiration and education.
