Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani girls’ education activist, has inspired people worldwide with her efforts to make education accessible to every girl and boy in the world. If youd like to share Malalas inspiring story with the children in your life, you’ll be happy to hear that the long-awaited youth edition of her autobiography “I Am Malala” was released today! “I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up For Education and Was Shot By the Taliban” released last fall, almost exactly a year after the then 15-year-old Malala was shot point-blank while riding the school bus home. In it, she told the story of her parents’ support of her education, her decision to speak out about the Taliban, and her miraculous survival and recovery from an assassination attempt. The new youth edition of “I Am Malala” is suitable for ages 10 and up, making it perfect for introducing both Malala’s story and important topics such as educational access, discrimination, and activism to pre-teens.
