I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai6/22/2023 ![]() ![]() It's an inspiring first-person story of what one teen can accomplish - and what it costs her and her loved ones. Ethos is immediately established when you read on the back cover that Malala won the Nobel Peace Prize. The underlying violence of life in Pakistan, particularly against people the Taliban don't approve of, looms throughout and may be too much for sensitive kids. Ethos, pathos, and logos were all used in I Am Malala. She doesn't remember anything about being shot, and there's little gory detail. Malala tells of being inspired at a young age to stand up for what was right, encouraged by her schoolteacher father of the scary realities of life under the Taliban and of squabbles with her brothers and tiffs with her friends as she becomes a symbol for the right of girls (and all kids) to get an education. Malala Yousafzai, the educational campaigner from Swat Valley, Pakistan, came to public attention by writing for BBC Urdu about life under the Taliban. ![]() She later was a co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize and now lives in England with her family because it's not safe for them to return to Pakistan. Malala was born in Pakistan in 1997 and became a household word in 2012, when she was shot at point-blank range by a member of the Taliban on her way home from school for advocating education for girls. Parents need to know that I Am Malala: How One Girl Stood Up For Education and Changed the World is a memoir by Malala Yousafzai, co-written with Patricia McCormick. ![]()
