 I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai is an autobiography written by the youngest Nobel Prize winner in history. It tells the story of a young Muslim Pakistani girl who was taught to stand up for what she believes. When the Taliban took control of her region, they dramatically reduced the rights of women, denying them education and freedom of movement. Malala fought for her right to be educated and on October 9, 2012, she was shot point-blank while riding the bus home from school. Defying all odds, she survived and began her campaign of peaceful protest. This book includes exclusive photos and material that complement her story, detailing how one young person can inspire change in the world.
