Praise for Malala Yousafzai Gr 3-6– "Walsh tackles difficult subject matter, such as extremism and violence, in an age-appropriate manner...VERDICT A solid pick for middle grade readers." - School Library Journal, Brittany McMahon, Westernport Elementary School, MD "In this engaging and informative book, Jenni L Walsh distills Malala Yousafzai's complicated, violent history into one that will neither scare nor intimidate young readers. It introduces the global refugee crisis and the violence that exists around the world alongside Malala's example of the difference one person can make. Walsh doesn't sugarcoat, but her book makes an excellent case for hope and working towards a better future. A wonderful resource for young girls (and boys!)." - Vivienne Woodward, Head House Books "The book provides an excellent account of Malala's experiences appropriate for a younger audience. The book reveals Malala's emotional experiences, as well as the facts of her life and the salient aspects of her community, society and country. For younger readers, though, the book is less detailed about the more violent and extreme sexism inherent in Malala's world." - Leslie Finkel, Wellington Square Bookshop “What an amazing book for our younger readers! Jenni L. Walsh inspires us with a fascinating telling of Malala’s powerful story of persistence! A must read for the middle grade audience.” - Kathy Morrison, Newtown Bookshop "This inspiring book tells Malala's extraordinary story in a way that young readers will be able to identify with and understand." - Sally, Children's Book World |
