Meet two heroes of Pakistan who stood up for the rights to freedom and
education in these inspirational nonfiction tales from acclaimed
author-illustrator Jeanette Winter. Two stories of bravery in one
beautiful book--including the story of Malala Yousafzai, a winner of the
2014 Nobel Peace Prize!
One country: Pakistan. Two children: Iqbal Masih and Malala Yousafzai.
Each was unafraid to speak out. He, against inhumane child slavery in
the carpet trade. She, for the right of girls to attend school. Both
were shot by those who disagreed with them--he in 1995, she in 2012.
Iqbal was killed instantly; Malala miraculously survived and continues
to speak out around the world. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in
2014 for her work.
The stories of these two courageous children whose bravery transcended
their youth, beautifully written and illustrated by celebrated author
Jeanette Winter, are an inspiration to all.
