Malala Yousafzai won the Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 17 for speaking out against injustice even when it was terrifying to do so. She was an ordinary Muslim girl who wanted to attend school, and she refused to stop protesting for her rights even after being attacked by a powerful group in Pakistan who wanted women to remain in the shadows. She continues to fight for women’s rights and free education for children all over the world!
In this inspiring book from the Ordinary People Change The World series, kids will learn how Malala's love of learning gave her the courage to speak up even at great risk to her life. Brad Meltzer captures how her traits — the same ones kids may have themselves — made her into a hero for people around the world. With appealing artwork by Christopher Eliopolous and a timeline and photos at the back, this is the perfect introduction to the youngest ever Nobel Prize laureate!
