She grew up in a world where women were supposed to be quiet. But Malala Yousafzai refused to be silent. She defied the Taliban's rules, spoke out for education for every girl, and was almost killed for her beliefs. This powerful true story of how one brave girl named Malala changed the world proves that one person really can make a difference.

*A fascinating story of peace, bravery, and non-violent protest*Malala Yousafzai won the Noel Peace Prize*An inspiring, illustrated nonfiction picture book for young readers

Powerful and vitally important, For The Right To Learn makes Malala's story accessible to the young generation who need it most.

I'm really sad that the galley I got hard a LOT of overlapped text formatting, which made whole pages impossible to read, because I would have loved to read the whole thing. But even with parts illegible, the message was stark and the story unforgettable. It reads like horrifying fiction, like the darkest most scared parts of someone's imagination, but for it to be true is unbelievable for someone like me, who has never lived with conflict or the threat of the Taliban. I hope this book will educate others like me, and reach those who may have heard the name Malala Yousafzai but never known the true extent of her bravery.

The art of this story is beautiful and accentuates the story perfectly. These pages are my favourite, art-wise, even if the story it's telling is God-awful. There's just something beautiful about the colours.
