A book for introducing children to one impressive big sister...

This 17-year-old Pakistani girl received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014, making her the youngest ever to receive such a distinction. From the tender age of 11, Malala stood up to the Talibans and their desire to shut down schools that accepted girls. The survivor of a Taliban assassination attempt, she became an inspiring figure in the world struggle against the fundamentalist Muslim oppression of young girls.
The extraordinary journey of such a young girl is told with help from Raphaële Frier, while Aurélia Fronty's accompanying images are just as intense as ever. Access to education is still an issue for girls in many countries.
