It was only a matter of time before the incredibly motivating Malala would get her own mini biography!

Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara has one of my most favourite children's series of all time. These non-fiction biographies are a must for little learners seeking to educate themselves about many famous and inspirational people.

Malala's story is a tough one but this book does it justice. The illustrations only add to it as they are beautiful and colourful. She wanted rights for women but the Taliban thought otherwise. She didn't like being trapped in her village and unable to learn or live. She started protesting which changed her life forever. After the events, she healed and became one of the most young, influential women (in my humble opinion). She's just a girl trying to be herself and stand up for her (and others) rights.

If you want to learn something new, whether you are an adult or a child, grab this book. These stories are told in an amazing picture book format but make the learning far more enjoyable than a lecture. I highly recommend adding these to your book shelves.

Five out of five stars.
