Little Princes

In search of adventure, twenty-nine-year-old Conor Grennan traded his day job for a year-long trip around the globe, a journey that began with a three-month stint volunteering at the Little Princes Children’s Home, an orphanage in war-torn Nepal.  Hopefully you got the chance to meet Conor Grennan at ALA Midwinter, where he signed copies of Little Princes: One Man's Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal, and discussed the series of events that lead him to found Next Generation Nepal.  For that story, in his own words, check out his column on the Huffington Post. 

Reuters also ran a fantastic piece on Conor's work, with the best headline I've seen in a while: U.S. author's pickup line becomes crusade in Nepal. Still curious? Got a question for Conor? Log on to CNN and ask away.  And no, unfortunately, he's not still single...

Conor Grennan's cause for the orphans in Nepal, which started from his round-the-world journey, inspired many individuals to sacrifice their luxuries in their home countries to fulfill such an advocacy halfway across the globe. I wish more travellers and even backpackers become advocates and helpers of the poor.

This is an amazing story and Conor is so honest in his reactions. I've been telling all my patrons to look for it next week.

Truly a library lovefest. Now I am not the drooling over author type. In fact, I probably only have 3 signed books and I've met thousands of authors. But I am a total Conor geek head. The book is, in a word, AWESOME. I love biographies, but can't say I've every really cared if a book became an actual bestseller or not. This one I care about. If it makes the NY Times Bestseller list I am going to .... something. I'm going to do something totally wild and crazy. We can make it happen! Read it and tell everyone.
