New Releases by Malala Yousafzai

Malala Yousafzai was just fifteen years old when she was shot in the head at point-blank range for daring to speak out against the Taliban and fight for her right to an education. In an instant, she became the most famous teenager in the world. Millions of people knew her name, but in the years that followed her shooting - as she became a Nobel laureate, a bestselling author, an Oxford graduate, a wife - she began to feel less and less sure that she really knew herself. Buckling under the weight of all her different identities (heroic schoolgirl, reckless college kid, good Pashtun daughter, overachieving academic, global activist icon), Malala realised she needed to figure out who it was she really wanted to be. That journey to self-discovery is the story of this book.

In her first board book, Nobel Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai introduces herself and her story to inspire the next generation of readers and leaders. With simple text alongside irresistible art, Nobel Prize laureate and education activist Malala Yousafzai''s first board book offers parents and educators a way to show that extraordinary figures are real people who are both relatable and inspiring. Malala is a daughter, a sister, a friend, a student, and, of course, an activist. The last spread features a brief bio to provide more context for parents, caretakers, and educators who want to start a conversation about Malala''s activism.

Nobel Peace Prize winner and New York Times bestselling author Malala Yousafzai turns the faceless statistics and endless news stories about displacement into real people—introducing a small fraction of the millions worldwide who have fled home in this powerful and "stirring" (New York Times) account. After her father was murdered, María escaped in the middle of the night with her mother. Zaynab was out of school for two years as she fled war before landing in America. Her sister, Sabreen, survived a harrowing journey to Italy. Ajida escaped horrific violence, but then found herself battling the elements to keep her family safe. Malala''s experiences visiting refugee camps caused her to reconsider her own displacement—first as an Internally Displaced Person when she was a young child in Pakistan, and then as an international activist who could travel anywhere in the world except to the home she loved. In We Are Displaced, Malala not only explores her own story, but she also shares the personal stories of some of the incredible girls she has met on her journeys—girls who have lost their community, relatives, and often the only world they''ve ever known. In a time of immigration crises, war, and border conflicts, We Are Displaced is an important reminder from one of the world''s most prominent activists that every single one of the 68.5 million currently displaced is a person—often a young person—with hopes and dreams. "A stirring and timely book." —New York Times

Nobel Peace Prize winner and New York Times bestselling author Malala Yousafzai''s first picture book, inspired by her own childhood. Malala''s first picture book will inspire young readers everywhere to find the magic all around them. As a child in Pakistan, Malala made a wish for a magic pencil. She would use it to make everyone happy, to erase the smell of garbage from her city, to sleep an extra hour in the morning. But as she grew older, Malala saw that there were more important things to wish for. She saw a world that needed fixing. And even if she never found a magic pencil, Malala realized that she could still work hard every day to make her wishes come true. This beautifully illustrated volume tells Malala''s story for a younger audience and shows them the worldview that allowed Malala to hold on to hope even in the most difficult of times. "This is a wonderful read for younger students that will also provide insight and encourage discussion about the wider world. ... The simplicity of Yousafzai''s writing and the powerful message she sends, make this book inspirational for all." -- School Library Journal

A MEMOIR BY THE YOUNGEST RECIPIENT OF THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE As seen on Netflix with David Letterman "I come from a country that was created at midnight. When I almost died it was just after midday." When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education. On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive. Instead, Malala''s miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York. At sixteen, she became a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest nominee ever for the Nobel Peace Prize. I AM MALALA is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls'' education, of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school, and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons. I AM MALALA will make you believe in the power of one person''s voice to inspire change in the world.
