Malala Yousafzai (A True Book: Biographies)

Written by Robin S. Doak

When Malala Yousafzai was just 11 years old, she began writing a blog about something very important to her—making sure girls in Pakistan could go to school. As more people read her blog, Malala became well known, and some groups who did not believe girls should learn tried to stop her.

Readers will discover how Malala stayed brave and kept speaking up for education, even after she was hurt by people who wanted to silence her. They will also learn how she became famous around the world and how she continues to work hard to protect the rights of girls and women in her home country.
