Regular price $19.99
Sale price $19.99

Malala Yousafzai, international icon, right to education activist and the youngest person to have received the Nobel Peace Prize, tells an inspiring story of what it was like to grow up in a region torn by war and yet, seeing the magic of hope everywhere he looked. When Malala was a child in Pakistan she wanted to have a magic pencil. I would use it to: -put a latch on your door; so her brothers couldn't bother her. -stop time to sleep for an extra hour every morning. -erase the smell of the garbage dump that was near your house. But, over time, his world changed, and so did his desires. Her right to go to school was threatened...simply because she was a girl. Instead of a magic pencil, Malala took a real one. Alone in her room, she wrote about the challenges she faced, but her words reached people around the world.

Spanish Description: Malala Yousafzai, icono internacional, activista en pro del derecho a la educacion y la persona mas joven en haber recibido el Premio Nobel de la Paz, relata una historia inspiradora de lo que fue crecer en una region desgarrada por la guerra y, sin embargo, ver la magia de la esperanza adondequiera que mirase. Cuando Malala era niña en Pakistan queria tener un lapiz magico. Lo usaria para: -poner un pestillo en su puerta; asi sus hermanos no podrian molestarla. -detener el tiempo para dormir una hora mas cada mañana. -borrar el olor del basurero que habia cerca de su casa. Pero, con el tiempo, su mundo cambio, lo mismo que sus deseos. Su derecho a ir a la escuela se vio amenazado... simplemente porque era una niña. En vez de un lapiz magico, Malala cogio uno de verdad. Sola en su habitacion, escribio sobre los desafios a que se enfrentaba, pero sus palabras llegaron a gente de todo el mundo.
