Why read it?

3 authors picked I Am Malala as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love this story of resilience and bravery. Malala is a model for everyone who believes in equality, education, and life! Today, there are calls in many communities to censor books and teachers. It worries me. What is next?

In her nonfiction book, Malala describes what happened when the Taliban invaded her village in Pakistan and banned girls from attending school. She defied that order and spoke openly against their oppression. Would I be that brave? What could affect women's and girls’ lives in such a profound way in the U.S.?

Malala was shot by the Taliban and almost lost…

I learned a lot about how women and girls are treated in Pakistan. I loved how brave Malala was and how she and her father continued their fight for Pakistani girls to be educated despite the fact that Malala was shot and almost killed.

Malala is a wonderful example to girls all around the world, like me, about how we can stand up for what is right and important. She was brave, and I want to be brave, too.

Each time I read this book, I feel like I can do anything that I want.
