Representaion As Books I Am Malala: How One Girl Stood Up for Education and Changed the World (Young Readers Edition)
When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education. On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive. Instead, Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York. At sixteen, she has become a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest nominee ever for the Nobel Peace Prize. I AM MALALA is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls' education, of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school, and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons. I AM MALALA will make you believe in the power of one person's voice to inspire change in the world.Rating Epithetical Books I Am Malala: How One Girl Stood Up for Education and Changed the World (Young Readers Edition)

Malala refused to believe girls should be denied an education. Why should girls not be allowed to attend school? Its their right.So Malala spoke in favour of educating girls during a time when it was very dangerous to do so. But Malala was not afraid; she was determined.This is more than a simple memoir. Malala doesnt just talk about herselfher past, her present and her future. She talks about what is around her; the world that surrounds her, and she points out what is right and what is wrongI did not realize there are two different I Am Malala books and was disappointed that I had not read the adult version by Christina Lamb. However, Kasey, a phD student of literature, analyzed the two books and found this young readers edition to be the better of the two. She says, "Although I think that the Christina Lamb version does give more context to the story, which is important and useful, I think the biggest difference between the two books is that the latter sounds more like the Malala
This girl is a real inspiration. Sometimes I forget she was only 11 or 12 or 13 years old as she describes speeches she gave to various organisations long before she was shot. Her parents are also strong people who encouraged her all along and stood up for what they believed was right all the time. She explains how things changed politically in Pakistan over the years clearly and in a very balanced way. She loves her homeland and would love to go back but sadly as we know the Taliban have
5/5BOOKSTAGRAMThere are no words with how profoundly this book spoke to me...no sung to me. Ever since I was a little girl education (reading, writing, researching) has been my entire world. Literature captured my heart when I was younger. If I wasn't found inventing silly things, I was found in my room hidden under the covers reading about the outside world. Knowledge was my weapon, learning was my tool. When I was younger, it never occurred to me that girls my age were not allowed to even set
I mean, this person is a living saint. You need to read this book.
You need to read this book.
Who didn't hear about Malala? This is the book she tells her story, well at least the early part of her story for she's just 22 now and is studying politics in Oxford. The story begins before she's born, explaining the history of her family and country. Then we get to learn about the story of her father and his efforts to establish a school. Malala becomes a part of this project and from a young age the talented student advocates for education of women. The rise of the radical Islamic movement
