Malala Yousafzai

** Shortlisted for the Little Rebels Children's Book Award! ** As a child in Pakistan, Malala made a wish for a magic pencil that she could use to redraw reality. She would use it for good; to give gifts to her family, to erase the smell from the rubbish dump near her house. (And to sleep an extra hour in the morning.)As she grew older, Malala wished for bigger and bigger things. 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 picture book tells Malala's story, in her own words, for a younger audience and shows them the worldview that allowed her to hold on to hope and to make her voice heard even in the most difficult of times.

The extraordinary true story of a young girl's courage in the face of violence and extremism, and an incredible testament to what can be achieved when we stand up for what we believe in. This illustrated adaptation of Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai's bestselling memoir, I Am Malala, introduces readers of 7+ to the remarkable story of a teenage girl who risked her life for the right to go to school. Raised in a changing Pakistan by an enlightened father from a poor background and a beautiful, illiterate mother, Malala was taught to stand up for her beliefs.

And on 9 October 2012, she nearly paid the ultimate price for her courage when she was shot on her way home from school. The book follows Malala's incredible journey to recovery in the aftermath of the attack, from the life-saving surgery she receives in a Birmingham hospital to her reunion with her family and their eventual relocation to England. Today Malala is a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest ever person to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'Part coming-of-age memoir, part reclamation . . . a portrait of a woman who has learned that courage isn't just about defying extremists, but also about allowing yourself to be ordinary' MARIE CLAIRE 'Remarkably intimate and insistently human' NEW YORK TIMES Thrust onto the public stage at just fifteen years old after the Taliban's brutal attack on her life, Malala quickly became an international icon - but away from the cameras and crowds, she was a young woman struggling to find her place in a world that was telling her the role she had to play. Now, for the very first time, Malala takes readers behind the headlines in her candid and revelatory memoir that buzzes with authenticity, sharp humour and tenderness. From friendship to first love, failed exams to impulsive adventures, Finding My Way reminds us that real role models aren't perfect - they're human. And through moments of astonishing vulnerability, Malala reveals the psychological toll of the Taliban shooting that nearly ended her life - and shares her gratitude for the kindness and empathy that saved her. This is not the story you think you know. It's the one Malala has been waiting to tell.

Miten rakennat itsesi uudelleen, kun koko maailmasi muuttuu yhdessä yössä? Malala Yousafzai päätyi julkisuuteen vain viisitoistavuotiaana sen jälkeen, kun Taliban oli yrittänyt raa'asti surmata hänet. Nopeasti hänestä tuli kansainvälinen ikoni, joka tunnetaan urheudestaan ja lannistumattomuudestaan. Kameroiden ja väkijoukkojen ulottumattomissa hän on kuitenkin vuosien ajan yrittänyt löytää paikkansa vieraassa maailmassa. Omaa tietä etsimässä -kirjassaan Malala vie meidät ensimmäisen kerran otsikoiden taakse. Haavoittuva ja yllättävä muistelmateos on täynnä autenttisuutta, terävää huumoria ja lempeyttä. Omaa tietä etsimässä on kertomus ystävyydestä ja ensirakkaudesta, ahdistuksesta ja itsensä löytämisestä. Kuinka pysyä uskollisena itselleen, kun kaikki muut haluavat määritellä, kuka olet? Malala kuvaa tietään yksinäisestä lukiolaisesta rämäpäiseksi yliopisto-opiskelijaksi ja edelleen nuoreksi naiseksi, joka pääsee sopuun menneisyytensä kanssa. Hän kuvaa rehellisesti toisinaan sotkuisiakin hetkiä, kuten rimaa hipoen läpäistyjä tenttejä, ghostatuksi tulemista ja elämänsä rakkauden kohtaamista. Näin hän muistuttaa meitä siitä, että todelliset roolimallit eivät ole täydellisiä – he ovat inhimillisiä. Sävähdyttävissä muistelmissaan Malala esittäytyy maailmalle uudelleen. Hän paljastaa, miten on löytänyt tiensä ihmisenä, jonka synkimmät hetket uhkasivat määrittää hänet – ja pyrkinyt samalla kohti vapautta löytää oma identiteettinsä. Omaa tietä etsimässä on intiimi muotokuva nuoresta naisesta, joka ottaa kohtalon omiin käsiinsä. Se on mýös syvästi henkilökohtainen osoitus vahvuudesta, jota tarvitaan, jotta voi olla anteeksipyytelemättä oma itsensä. Malala Yousafzai on koulutusaktivisti, kaikkien aikojen nuorin Nobel-palkinnon saaja, menestyskirjailija ja palkittu elokuvatuottaja. Hän on syntynyt Pakistanin Mingorassa vuonna 1997 ja valmistunut Oxfordin yliopistosta vuonna 2020.

Eight years on from the publication of her internationally bestselling memoir, WE ARE DISPLACED presents true stories of the refugee experience interwoven with Malala's own story of her displacement

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, Mar a 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

Nobels fredspris-belönade Malala Yousafzais bästsäljande självbiografi i förkortning och bearbetning för unga läsare. Malala Yousafzai är flickan som utmanade de talibanska islamisterna i Pakistan. Femton år gammal blev hon skjuten i huvudet och undkom döden med en hårsmån. Men innan hon blev en internationellt känd aktivist var hon helt enkelt en flicka som tog strid för vad hon trodde på. Så när flickorna i hennes tidigare så fridfulla del av Pakistan fick höra att de inte längre fick gå i skolan, riskerade hon livet för flickors rätt till utbildning. I denna nedkortade version av hennes självbiografi, som även innehåller svartvita illustrationer, en ordlista och en tidslinje, får vi följa den märkliga historien om en flicka som vägrade låta sig tystas. Malala visar värdet i att ta strid mot hatet och erbjuder ett inspirerade budskap om beslutsamhet och hopp – med hennes egna ord.

Hur känns det att förlora allt, fly för sitt liv och försöka börja om någon annanstans? Det vet Malala Yousafzai, och det vet miljoner andra unga människor. Malala berättar dels sin egen historia igen, denna gång ur perspektivet hur flykten har förändrat hennes identitet, längtan och drömmar. Hon upplåter också sin röst till ett tiotal andra unga kvinnor som hon har mött under besök på flyktingläger eller på andra platser världen över. De får berätta högst personligt, om fruktansvärda strapatser undan våld och förtryck. Om förlust, sorg, skräck - men också om ofattbart mod och om hopp. Att lämna allt bakom sig, försöka hitta trygghet på en ny plats, lära sig ett nytt språk, inse att man kanske aldrig kan återvända - när man samtidigt sett fasor som inte går att beskriva. Krig, folkförflyttning och gränskonflikter präglar vår tid på ett obönhörligt sätt. Vi som flydde är en drabbande och enormt angelägen skildring som påminner oss om att alla människor har okränkbara rättigheter, som trygghet och ett hem och en möjlighet att våga se framåt. Boken är skriven av flyktingen, Nobelprisvinnaren och förebilden Malala Yousafzai.
