I started listening to this on audiobook, which was really well done and even featured Malala herself in a few sections. It really hit home how much of a regular girl she is - loves pizza and cupcakes; fights with her brothers; and enjoys watching TV and movies. She was so young when she began advocating for education and peace, and it's crazy how much of a heroic and courageous spirit she is to tirelessly work for the good of all.

Con el pretexto de buscar autobiografías me decidí por esta y no me arrepentí: es un texto emotivo y directo, que nos acerca a la situación de las mujeres del otro lado del mundo.

I knew very little about Malala Yousafzai before I listened to this audiobook. I am in awe of what she and other girls in Pakistan and Afghanistan go through in order to get an education.

I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai. Malala’s compelling first-hand account of fighting for woman’s education and equality against the Taliban that proves that one person can make a difference.

I think just about everyone has heard of the courageous Malala Yousafzai of Pakistan: she's the girl who spoke in favor of women's right to education and was shot by terrorists for it. This was an interesting story and I'm really glad I listened to it. I learned some things, including just the briefest bit of Pakistani history and Muslim culture. And this book made me grateful for my education and my freedom, two things that I often take for granted.

I read this out loud to Isabelle. I think it surprised her that in the world today there are girls who are denied an education. It was eye opening for her and a great discussion.
