Review of 'I Am Malala' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

I Am Malala is a compelling autobiographical account by Malala Yousafzai detailing her passion for education. Inspired by her family and her father's activism, she spoke in support of education being available to all children, boys and girls equally. Malala loves her books and learning. She loves her home in Swat valley in Pakistan, her family and friends, and going to school.

In this book, she speaks about the difficulties leading up to being targeted by the Taliban and shot on her way home from school. Reading Malala's account clearly details her dedication to her passion, and the need for people with her dedication. I especially admired her father's passion and support of Malala. I'm glad I finally got around to reading this. Malala's passion is important, especially in places like Pakistan, where many people don't know much about the culture or the needs of the people.
