I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced by Delphine Minoui, Nojoud Ali
5.0
What can I say about this small, powerful, young girl, Nujood?
I listened to the audio version of this book and I was feeled with emotions; anger, frustration, sadness, powerlessness, encouraged, delighted, victorious. Nujood is a living example of what the "little" in our world can do to escape oppression and abuse, in spite of all the odds stacked against them, and win against the "big" (adults in this case).
You will cringe first, cry second, and cheer Nujood on in the end; and you will contemplate how can we end this type of abuse, defective reasoning/thinking on the part of the abusers/parents/villages, and save some lives. Every life is worth living, worth freedom, and worth our compassion and action.
Read Nujood's story, learn something, do something...
