Who Is Malala Yousafzai? (Who Was?) Paperback – Illustrated, August 11, 2015

My first grader really loved this book. She was utterly flabbergasted and outraged by the treatment of women by the Taliban. She was so upset by the way girls are discouraged and prevented from attending school. My gifted, straight-A student who loves school found this to be such an injustice. I used it as a way to empower her and show her how lucky she is to be an American. I also used it as a way to discuss terrorism because despite best efforts -- they hear about it from many places and see it on TV. This book shows that good will always trump evil and that she is not powerless against those cowardly groups who fear her mind and her power. I told her to never accept being told she cannot do whatever she wants in life -- just as Malala does not. We also watched Malala's Noble Peace Prize acceptance speech as a way to follow it up and drive the point home (it's a great speech and kid friendly).

My granddaughter who is 8 loved reading The Who was series they are very informative..very inspiring, and perfect for her reading level. I only wish Amazon had every book in the series

This book is good written with great dialog. Her story is amazing and is inspiring to boys and girls everywhere. Even when she was shot she strived for not only her education but for the people all over the globe.

My daughters are facinated with Malala and the many challenges & obstacles she has overcome and continues to fight for in regard to the rights of girls to be educated equally to boys. They were adopted from another country, and they have chronic health conditions that they deal with, but they are honor roll students and continuously strive to learn and do their best. Malala is an incredible role model for school aged girls! It is a compassionate and enlightening easy reading book I think anyone would find heartwarming.

This is an inspiring story about a brave young woman. Parents should know there is discussion of her being attacked and shot (of course), so be aware for younger or more sensitive readers.The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the writing style (and/or editing) doesn't flow well. The story starts when Malala is shot, then jumps back in time, jumps a bit forward, then a bit back... without clear indications of timeline until the end. It made the read frustrating. That said, my 11 year old said she noticed that a little in the beginning, but it didn't bother her for the rest of the book, and overall she really liked it.The overall tone of the book is uplifting and inspiring with a strong female at the center.

I bought a bunch of these books and junie b Jones for the summer and to add to our small library. I have read I Am Malala and I loved it, readit more han once. So I knew I had to introduce my daughter's to her. I decided to read a hapter a day, but my daughter was so intrigued and mesmerized by Malala's story that she didn't let me stop until we finished it. She was so in disbelief about kids, especially girls not being able to go to school she almost cried. I think it help her realize how lucky she is to be able to go to school and for that I'm thankful :) thanks Malala's for being a good role model.

Perfect! loved reading about a strong, young, modern female to my 5 year old daughter. I thought it was important for my daughter to understand that not every girl has access to education. I also wanted her to see that young girls can have a voice and change the world. So thankful this book was written. I think my daughter was a little young for all the points in the book, so I would recommend it for an slightly older child, 7 and up.

I use this series in my junior high classroom. They were flipping through and were thrilled to read a story about one of the "characters" that was still alive, from present day. Malala's story is told in a way that conveys the seriousness of her actions (and potential repercussions) while not being so dark it scares off more sensitive readers. It's a great book for a classroom. Highly recommend.

Davvero interessante per i ragazzi è scritto in modo semplice per far conoscere la storia di questa grande ragazza che ha avuto coraggio, forza e devozione fin da quando era solo una bambina.
