Review: Beautiful - Everything about this book is beautiful, the story, the gold, the story behind the pencil, the representation, its highlight of social issues while providing hope, everything. Written by the young Nobel Peace Prize laureate and Pakistani education activist Malala herself. A must read for children and a must have for school libraries and elementary classrooms.
Review: Descriptive Pictures, Appropriate for Little Kids - I want my daughter and my sons to read about courageous women and girls. It’s hard to imagine a more courageous story than Malala’s. First, this book was appropriate for kids of multiple ages. My 7 and 9-year olds learned more about Malala from the detailed pictures. Her concrete home has cracked walls. A group of children literally pick through a trash heap to feed their families. There is a power in illustration to tell the context of the story, and for my two kids who already know Malala’s story and can learn more from illustration - well, it’s powerful. My 4-year-old has been deeply affected by recent school shootings near our house, and I didn’t want to read a book about someone getting shot going to school because he doesn’t need that right now - and nuance is lost when you’re four. This book gives you the option to talk about it or not. Malala is in a hospital gown with a bracelet on one page, but the shooting isn’t explicit. I have read the book several times with my little one, and he gets the courage and the context without getting more freaked out. Finally, the whole frame of her pencil being magical is just brilliant. Gold foil writing creeps across each page. And kids get that sometimes just telling your story - or listening to stories and taking action - is the central act of courage.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Teared up reading this!!
*by B***Y on April 25, 2021*

[Originally reviewed on chalkacademy(dot)com] Malala herself wrote this beautiful story about the magic of the pen, the power of the human voice. She begins the story about a television show that inspired her to dream of a magic pencil. As she grows up, she realizes the magic is her own voice and bravery to speak up. The shooting isn’t mentioned, but Malala alludes to it on one page: “My voice became so powerful that the dangerous men tried to silence me. But they failed.” This is a true #ownvoices autobiographical picture book. Highly recommend for elementary school history / social studies, and it's just a wonderfully inspiring book to have at home. We're so grateful to have this book in both English and Chinese!
