I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban

Reviewed by Sheryl Walters

An inspirational account of Malala Yousafzai's life leading up to her attack by the Taliban for speaking out about the right of girls to obtain an education.  The book weaves through little tales of her life and shows how she was raised by her father to be a leader and stand up for what she believed.  It seemed a lot of the stories were thought of in hindsight of what she accomplished, but that didn't take away from the encouraging message that we can all make a difference.
