I Am Malala: How One Girl Stood Up for Education and Changed the World

“Who is Malala?” was what she heard just before she was shot in the head by a member of the Taliban, his hands trembling. This book is an answer to that question. An answer that she was not expected to give. An answer that has echoed through the world, changed the lives of millions, and has risen, loudly and clearly, above the ear-shattering din of ignorance and violence.
I Am Malala is not just the proclamation of one young girl. It’s the voice of the oppressed everywhere.
Malala Yousafzai’s miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York. At sixteen, she has become a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest nominee ever for the Nobel Peace Prize.
I am Malala is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls' education, of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school, and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons.
Archie Panjabi perfectly captures Malala’s voice, its youthful hope and its ageless wisdom. This story, an Audie Award Finalist in 2014, radiates courage and determination. It’s the very embodiment of a powerful message that could not be silenced.
