Overview
Malala Yousafzai is a brave Pakistani girl who fought for equal education rights for girls and women against the Taliban, a terrorist group that believed men are much superior than women. She loved going to school and studying and hated leaving her textbooks and school supplies. The more she spoke out against the Taliban, the more she was recognized, even by the Taliban themselves. Soon, the Taliban saw her as a "threat" and took action.
On the way home from school one day, the bus that Malala was riding on was suddenly stopped by suspicious men. They turned out to be part of the Taliban and shot her and others on the bus. Malala, who was shot in the head, had to undergo surgery to save her life, while her mother prayed, "God, I entrust her to You. We didn't accept security guards -- You are our protector. She was under Your care and You are bound to give her back." Read the book about a brave girl who stepped up to have equal education for everyone, and was shot by the Taliban. |
