I Am Malala: How One Girl Got Up For Education and Changed the World - Young Reader's Edition by Malala Yousafzai

5.0

It's hard to understate the importance of this book. I decided to read the Young Readers edition for two reasons: 1) I'm hoping to read it with my students and I wanted to pre-read; and 2) I saw that it sounds more like Malala's actual voice, where the 'adult' version sounds more like the other author. There are so many important things that this book deals with, but the piece I hope to share with my students is the importance of education (and how many of them take theirs for granted). The story is a (obviously) powerful one and it is told well. As advertised, it sounds like Malala sharing her story and not the voice of a ghostwriter or anything like that. I hope that my students will hear that voice and connect with it better.

This is one of those books that everyone should read. I feel like even if it's just a tiny bit, I think it would move everyone in some way.
