I like that this book exists, as I think there need to be good Malala books for upper elementary. However, because it is an abridgment of the longer book, to me it was a bit choppy. I also thought it doesn't really give enough context to the storytelling, so it doesn't flow as well as the teen version and it might be confusing for younger audiences. In general, I feel positive about it, but I wish it felt a little more cohesive.

This book is wonderfully done. While I never read the original version, I loved this abridged version. In my fourth grade classroom we learn about “rights and responsibilities”. Malala is part of our curriculum so this will be a perfect read aloud for my students. I may buy some extra copies so students can follow along. I definitely recommend this book.

A fantastically inspirational story of Malala Yousafzai’s life told by herself. The book is aimed at children and gives them an insight into her fight for the right for girls to go to school. Malala is a brave and fearless person who, despite putting herself at great danger, continued to go to school and speak out for girls education while the Taliban were targeting her. The book could be shared with year 6 children to allow them to understand Malala’s life and the importance of her work. There are lots of descriptions throughout the book to help children understand different ideas and events as well as a glossary of key words. An important book to raise children’s awareness of equality and human rights.
