A chapter book edition of Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai's bestselling story of courageously standing up for girls' education.
Malala's memoir of a remarkable teenage girl who risked her life for the right to go to school is now abridged and adapted for chapter book readers. Raised in a changing Pakistan by an enlightened father from a poor background and a beautiful, illiterate mother, Malala was taught to stand up for what she believes. Her story of bravery and determination in the face of extremism is more timely than ever.
In this edition, Malala tells her story in clear, accessible language perfect for children who are too old for Malala's Magic Pencil and too young for her middle-grade memoir. Featuring line art and simplified back matter, Malala teaches a new audience the value of speaking out against intolerance and hate: an inspiring message of hope in Malala's own words.
Die damals fünfzehnjährige Malala wollte einfach nur zur Schule gehen - doch für die Taliban haben Mädchen kein Recht auf Bildung. Am 9. Oktober 2012 schossen ihr Terroristen in den Kopf, als sie auf dem Weg von der Schule nach Hause war. Malala hat den Anschlag schwer verletzt überlebt, doch aufgegeben hat sie nicht. Sie setzt ihren Kampf für Bildung unermüdlich fort und ist damit zum Vorbild vieler Jugendlicher auf der ganzen Welt geworden.
Leonie Landa spricht mit viel Einfühlungsvermögen und vermittelt auf bewegende Weise ein authentisches Bild von Malalas Leben und den politischen Ereignissen in Pakistan. 'Malala. Meine Geschichte' ist ein Hörbuch für alle Kinder auf der ganzen Welt, die nicht in die Schule gehen können, für alle Lehrer, die trotz großer Widerstände den Mut haben zu unterrichten, und für alle, die für ihre Menschenrechte und ihr Recht auf Bildung kämpfen.
Das gleichnamige Buch, aus dem Englischen von Maren Illinger, ist bei Fischer KJB erschienen.

A MEMOIR BY THE YOUNGEST RECIPIENT OF THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE
"I come from a country that was created at midnight. When I almost died it was just after midday."
When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education.
On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive.
Instead, Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York. At sixteen, she became a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest nominee ever for the Nobel Peace Prize.
I AM MALALA is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls' education, of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school, and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons.
I AM MALALA will make you believe in the power of one person's voice to inspire change in the world.
