I Am Malala

the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban
Oct 09, 2016KMJ_ rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
Activism was a part of Malala’s life from very early on. Her father founded numerous schools, and always worked to make sure that girls in their society were able to receive a well-rounded education. This book gives a very vivid account of what Malala’s early life in the Swat Valley was like, and then how everything changed after the Taliban’s calculated overthrow of their society. Malala writes longingly of her birthplace, but recognizes that she now has an opportunity to advocate for education to a global audience. It's a very moving book, and it's wonderful to hear Malala's story in her own words.
