In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy
best-selling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of
Malala Yousafzai, the incredible activist for girls' education and the
youngest Nobel Prize laureate.
When Malala was born in Mingora, Pakistan, her father was determined she
would have every opportunity that a boy would have. She loved getting
an education, but when a hateful regime came to power, girls were no
longer allowed to go to school.
Malala spoke out in public about this, which made her a target for
violence. She was shot in the left side of her head and woke up in a
hospital in England. Finally, after long months and many surgeries,
Malala recovered, and resolved to become an activist for girls'
education. Now a recent Oxford graduate, Malala continues to fight
for a world where all girls can learn and lead.
This powerful book features stylish and quirky illustrations and
extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with
historical photos and a detailed profile of the activist's life.
