When I saw this on *Netgalley I had to request it. I remember watching Malala on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. To say that this girl (now a woman) is an inspiration does not even begin to express it.
The book goes into details about Malala's life and her activism for girls and her fight against the Taliban. It doesn't hold back and even tells of her being shot 3 times.
I enjoyed this book. It is not for younger children as it is information heavy and some may find parts too upsetting. But this is perfect for older children. It is a great introduction to Malala's life.
The illustrations in this are incredible. Like stare at each page for several minutes incredible. I also love that at the end of the book the author included real photographs of Malala. I loved the ones showing her with her family as the love is obvious in her family. This is one that I will read again.
4 out of 5 stars.
* I recieved a free copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
