Malala is a daughter, a sister, and a friend. She is also Muslim and hopes for world peace. This book helps portray Malala as a relatable young girl who grew up in Pakistan. She encourages young girls to stand up for themselves. It only takes one to make a difference.
I liked this board book because the text was simple and yet thought provoking. If this is a young reader's first exposure to Malala, it helps teach about her life, not just the event that made her famous. Readers can make a lot of text-to-self connections.
