First things first: hate the artwork. Only Malala is shown as this big head figure while the adults and even other children until the last page are shown as more realistic. Which has the effect of infantilizing her.
I also don’t know how I feel about most of the citations being books Malala or her father wrote. Is that good? Bad? Is that just what’s available? Glad Malala did have input on early drafts. End pages include a timeline and actual photos. I just … I wanted more from this I guess.

An excellent, age appropriate, retelling of Malala's bravery and dedication.

Ordinary People Change the World is a biographical picture book series from Brad Meltzer, best known as a bestselling author of adult thrillers. Positive and inspiring for preschoolers. Christopher Eliopoulos’ cute illustrations just add another layer of appeal! Introducing young readers to these ordinary people who fought against stereotypes and/or injustice, the books have tackled various well-known people and their causes.
