Malala Yousafzai, I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban
I'm currently reading the inspirational account from a very strong young woman. Here she recounts her early life and her passion for education. We get a taste of Pakistan's history and culture. We also read the first-hand account of the day she was shot, followed by her healing and hard-earned recovery. Since then, she has continued to speak out and meet with leaders to make positive changes in the world, especially for the education of girls.
