In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of Malala Yousafzai, the incredible activist for girls education and the youngest Nobel Prize laureate.

When Malala was born in Mingora, Pakistan, her father was determined she would have every opportunity that a boy would have. She loved getting an education, but when a hateful regime came to power, girls were no longer allowed to go to school. Malala spoke out in public about this, which made her a target for violence. She was shot in the left side of her head and woke up in hospital in England. Finally after long months and many surgeries, Malala recovered, and resolved to become an activist for girls education. Now a recent Oxford graduate, Malala continues to fight for a world where all girls can learn and lead. This powerful book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the activists life.

This is another wonderful addition to Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara's acclaimed Little People, Big Dreams series.
The book details the life (so far) of the courageous activist for girls' education, from her early years in the Swat Valley, Pakistan, through the rise of the Taliban, Malala's evacuation to the United Kingdom, her early activism, Nobel Peace Prize and achievements at Oxford University. While the book mentions that Malala and two of her friends were shot by the Taliban for speaking up over their rights to an education, the incident isn't dwelt on and is depicted sensitively.
As always with this series, Manal Mirza's illustrations are richly-coloured, simple yet evocative. The colour scheme calls to mind the rich jewel-like colours and patterns that appear in hand-woven Pakistani carpets.
A section at the end of the book provides a timeline and more comprehensive detail of Ms. Yousafzai's experiences and achievements. A short bibliography gives recommendations for further reading, including Malala's autobiography, I Am Malala: The Story of the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban.
Malala Yousafzai is a fitting introduction for young readers to the life and work of one of the world's most outstanding young women. I can recommend it highly to parents, educators and others who seek to introduce primary-aged children to global social justice issues and role models.
My thanks to the author, Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara, publisher Frances Lincoln Children's Books (Quarto Publishing Group) and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this title.
