Malala: My Story of Standing Up for Girls' Rights

A chapter book edition of Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai's bestselling story of courageously standing up for girls' education.

Malala's powerful memoir of risking her life for the right to go to school is now abridged and adapted for chapter book readers.

Raised in a changing Pakistan by an enlightened father from a poor background and a beautiful, illiterate mother, Malala was taught to stand up for what she believes. Her story of bravery and determination in the face of extremism is more timely than ever.

In this edition, Malala tells her story in clear, accessible language perfect for children who are too old for Malala's Magic Pencil and too young for her middle-grade memoir. Featuring line art and simplified back matter, Malala teaches a new audience the value of speaking out against intolerance and hate: an inspiring message of hope in Malala's own words.

Malalal: My Story of Standing Up for Girls' Rights is strong, simply-written, and doesn't shy away from the attack without spending too much time on it. It's written quite matter-of-factly and is absolutely appropriate for middle grade readers. It's inspiring, is a quick read, and everyone should read it despite age. I learned things from this book about Malala that I didn't hear from the news. It was nice how she explains how ordinary she is while the rest of us know her as such a powerful, extraordinary person.
