Malala is an absolute must-know for kids and adults everywhere, and this little book is a great way to introduce her life and story to the youngest little souls.

I really like this series of books introducing key figures from history and culture to children, and this latest one is no exception.
Beautifully illustrated as ever, and the register is just perfect for little ones enjoying books with their loved ones, in an early years setting, or independently.

Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me read an advance copy of this book in exchange for my feedback.

WoW! Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara books must be one of the best little books to purchase for children, these are the best-selling series of books and educational games that explore the lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and activists. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child with a dream.

So, this latest book is about Malala Yousafzai by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara and is just brilliant throughout.
"When Malala was born in Mingora, Pakistan, her father was determined she would have every opportunity that a boy would have. She loved getting an education, but when a hateful regime came to power, girls were no longer allowed to go to school. Malala spoke out in public about this, which made her a target for violence. She was shot in the left side of her head and woke up in a hospital in England. Finally, after long months and many surgeries, Malala recovered, and resolved to become an activist for girls' education. Now a recent Oxford graduate, Malala continues to fight for a world where all girls can learn and lead. This powerful book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the activist's life."

It's one book, you should definitely buy for your little readers so they can learn about this wonderful artist.

I am so glad these books are being published and I highly recommend all of these books

Many thanks to Quarto’s Frances Lincoln Children’s Books and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Another great addition to the series, which focuses on the life of inspirational Malala Yousafzai. A gentle introduction to her story, which includes her early life to her Nobel Peace Prize and further achievements. Additionally, wonderful illustrations in vibrant colours grab your attention.

Apologies, I did not download this file in time before it was archived, and I've only realised that now when it has been placed in Archived-Not Downloaded.

Loved this book, what a journey she had and what an amazing person. I read this with my daughter and she was literally amazed at what she had done.

Another great book from this series and a great way of kids learning about the amazing things people have done

This is a beautifully illustrated children's book about a girl from Pakistan called Malala Yousafzai, who became an activist after being oppressed as a child by the Taliban. She stood up for children's rights to go to school and get an education and later in life, she received the nobel peace prize for her inspiring work. I enjoyed reading this book and I look forward to reading more of the Little People, Big Dreams books.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A great series, always good for teaching young minds about influential (and sometimes lesser well-known) influential people. And I often learn something too!

Simply stunning artwork, I adore everyone of these books and think they are such inspirational reading to young minds, a great way of introducing important people to little ones, the greatness they achieve and how they can achieve anything they want to. Pure inspiration for future inspiring minds.

Girls can have big dreams too!

I was so impressed by the story Of Malala, the youngest person ever to receive the Nobel Peace Prize! I definitely didn't know her entire story, where she grew up, why she couldn't get an education and the fact that she got shot going back from school for speaking up!

Overall, this book is a book of bravery and hope. It shows us that not only do girls deserve the same rights and treatment but that we as women can move mountains when we put our minds to it. It also gives us insight into the situation in other countries and helps us educate our little ones and spread awareness of the things that happen around the world to this day.

Beautiful illustrations as always, bright and lovely!

We are always looking to expand our bookshelves and welcome diverse role models into the curriculum from the youngest possible age. This is a beautiful addition to the Little People, Big Dreams series allows parents and educators to share these wonderful role models with very young children in an engaging but informative way. Malala Yousafzai is a role model who should be shared with young children everywhere, because she is the embodiment of determination, resilience, and equality. The colours in the illustrations are bright and engaging and really add to the culture backdrop of the book. As this series of books always does, this book breaks down the life story of the role model in a simple and child-friendly way, but without dumbing down the information. Certainly a book which deserves to be on every classroom bookshelf.

The newest addition to the "Little People, BIG DREAMS" collection features the story of Malala Yousafzai, the youngest Nobel Prize winner. The book portrays her upbringing, the shooting she's been injured in, and everything she was able to achieve due to the publicity it brought. She took advantage of the media attention to advocate for peace and putting an end to violence in the Middle East.
I simply love these little books. They are beautifully designed and can inspire many young people and encourage them to follow their dreams.

Everyone knows the harrowing nature of Malala's story, but Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara manages to tell her story to little ones in simplistic, easy to understand terms which explain the seriousness of the Taliban - and their control in Malala's home country - without being overly frightening.
I read this with my little girl (who is nearly three), and although she was more interested in pointing out the beautiful floral patterns laced throughout this story, she understood the gravity of the situation Malala found herself in. She managed to completely break my heart when she stuck her bottom lip out, pointed at the image of Malala in her hospital bed and said, "Boo boo".
If you are a parent who is happy to have conversations with your little ones about the darker aspects of humanity, this is a Little People, BIG DREAMS book which I would highly recommend. However, if you're just looking for a fun and informative story about a famous person from history, I would suggest picking up one of the other Little People, BIG DREAMS titles instead. Dolly Parton is a huge favourite in our household!

This is such an amazing book for adults and children!

Malala's story is told through the most beautiful and emotive illustrations. The language is accesible and the narrative is easy to follow and this book sits really well in the Little People, Big Dreams series.

Ive been a Malala fan for a long time. Seeing her story in this series was very good. She is very inspiring.

The book was beautiful. Loved the illustration and narrative.

The Little People, Big Dreams series always produces interesting stories of fascinating people told in a way that makes them accessible to children and this title is no exception.

The story of Malala is well known but this book is written in a way that makes it appealing to younger readers. The illustrations and short bursts of text make it an attractive book that children will be keen to pick off the bookshelf.

I love this series of books.
They give enough information about the person for children to understand and learn and not make it feel like it is learning.
Another great book for the series, I always look forward to see who will be given the little people big dreams ‘bookover’
Thanks Netgalley for this arc.

Another great addition to the series! My cubs love these books and often want to learn more about the people discussed. Perfect for any child's library and for classroom use!

I am a big fan of the little people, big dreams' series and always look forward to new additions. This is no exception. It tells of the brave and determined Malala Yousafzai, who campaigns for every child's right to an education.
I really like that these books are accessible for younger children and also have additional information in a biography at the back. Perfect for parents and teachers to share with younger readers.
I really like the vibrancy of the illustrations in this one.

Not quite as good as some of the others in the series, and I can't quite put my finger on why. Possibly because I'm more familiar with Malala's story than with some of the other people written about in the series.

Illustrations were as beautiful as ever.

My daughter and I loved this series and this latest addition was no exception. We know Malala’s story well, having read many different iterations of it. We were so pleased with this retelling and felt it was the perfect first book for a young child to engage with, as a good introduction to her hard but inspiring story. It was simple and clear without skipping over important details. The illustrations were simply gorgeous and helped to tell the story. We would highly recommend this book and plan to read it again and again.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.
