Malala Yousafzai is een Pakistaanse activiste voor het onderwijs van meisjes en de jongste Nobelprijswinnares ooit. Ze staat bekend om haar levenslange inzet voor mensenrechten, met name voor het onderwijs van vrouwen in haar geboortestreek Swat Valley, waar de lokale Taliban meisjes soms de toegang tot school had verboden. Haar activisme is sindsdien uitgegroeid tot een internationale beweging voor onderwijs aan meisjes wereldwijd.
Hoe één meisje opkwam voor het recht op onderwijs en de wereld veranderde
Het Pakistaanse meisje Malala (16, ik-figuur) was nog maar tien jaar toen de Taliban aan de macht kwam. Meisjes mochten niet meer naar school gaan. Ze vocht daarvoor, maar werd in haar hoofd geschoten. Met kleurenfoto's. Vanaf ca. 12 jaar.
Kerascoët's bright, reportorial watercolors match the text's directness and sincerity, adding gold embellishments to give Malala's hopes and optimism a radiant physicality. The Malala in these pages is both approachable and extraordinary.-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
