Malala : my story of standing up for girls' rights

A chapter book edition of Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai's bestselling story of courageously standing up for girls' education. Malala's memoir of a remarkable teenage girl who risked 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. As free as a bird A magic pencil Warnings Radio mullah What terrorism feels like A chance to speak A schoolgirl's diary Class dismissed? Displaced A strange peace Good news at last A threat against me A day like any other A place called birmingham A hundred questions Filling in the blanks Messages from around the world Miracles This new place One girl among many Epilogue: the youngest person ever.
