Malala

My Story of Standing Up for Girls' Rights

De: Malala Yousafzai, Sarah J. Robbins

Narrado por: Neela Vaswani

A chapter book edition of Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai's bestselling story of courageously standing up for girls' education.
Malala's powerful memoir of risking her life for the right to go to school is now abridged and adapted for chapter book readers. Raised in a changing Pakistan by an enlightened father from a poor background and a beautiful, illiterate mother, Malala was taught to stand up for what she believes. Her story of bravery and determination in the face of extremism is more timely than ever. In this edition, Malala tells her story in clear, accessible language perfect for children who are too old for Malala's Magic Pencil and too young for her middle-grade memoir. Featuring line art and simplified back matter, Malala teaches a new audience the value of speaking out against intolerance and hate: an inspiring message of hope in Malala's own words.

A Rare Treasure

Sometimes thinking of a title for a review is the hardest part. But this title took only seconds to think of because it describes the book, but more importantly, it describes Malala. There are very few things in life that everyone should do, but listen to, or read, a book about Malala should be done by everyone. Countless positive attributes can be learned from her story: forgiveness, determination, positivity, resilience, compassion, generosity, boldness, a love of family, a love of learning, a sense of humor (even in hard times), and the courage to stand up for oneself and others, all while being humble and respectful. Truly, both Malala, and this book are Rare Treasures.
