When the Taliban took over the Swat Valley, one girl spoke out. She refused to be silenced or surrendered and continued her fight for her right to education.
On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, she nearly paid with her life after a Taliban gunman shot her in the head at point-blank range while she was on her school bus home. No one expected her to survive.
But her miraculous recovery journey took her on an astonishing journey from a remote village in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York. Now, at sixteen, she has become a global symbol of nonviolent struggle and the youngest ever Nobel Peace Prize nominee. “I Am Malala” tells the moving story of a family uprooted by global terrorism, the remarkable struggle of a girl who championed girls’ right to education, and the overwhelming love Malala’s parents showered on their daughter in a society that only celebrates men.
It’s a book that inspires you to believe that one voice can change the world.
