I am Malala: The Story of the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and was Shot by the Taliban | 
“One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.“
In my classroom, this book can foster discussions on resilience, the value of education, and global perspectives, helping students appreciate the rights they have and the struggles others face to achieve them.
pickThis book was published in 2013. It talks about the life of Malala Yousafzai, a young Pakistani girl who stood up for girls' education despite Taliban threats, which ultimately led to an assassination attempt on her life. The book won the Nobel Peace Prize, symbolizing Malala‘s extraordinary courage and advocacy for education rights worldwide.
💙 I currently have an iPhone, but have been contemplating switching to android.
💙 I read parts of the tagged book on my phone while waiting in lines. My ereader fits in my purse, so it's not often that I need to read on my phone.

April was not a productive reading month. I'm still working on April's #bookspin and #doublespin. But here's my list for May!
I've had a small reading slump since the end of March. I only partially blame Beyonce's new album. 🤣 But now I'm getting back into the swing of things. And I'm finally getting around to posting April's #bookspin and #doublespin selections.

1. Yes, my mom is definitely my hero
2. Done… She is a real life hero in my opinion

pickThis has been in my TBR for ages. It was a powerful portrait of strength and courage and also a reminder of how much I have taken for granted in my life.

Ready to have my mind blown and my spirit inspired.
pickThe wrath of the Taliban is depressing and traumatic and her story is no exception. Malala ‘s father is pro women‘s education where only men get it. The Pashtun tribe of Pakistan is very peaceful and has lots of passed down wisdom, and devotion to the peaceful religion of Islam. Life was good for her and her family. See below👇
I decided I hate Malala‘s dad. He knows he‘s too poor to be a father, and his man friend told him so. Then he decides to have countless children! “There was no kitchen, no plumbing. When my mother arrived, Hidayatullah had to move into the office and sleep on a hard wooden chair.” page 42. Do I need any other reasons?
I am now reading this book. I am 9% through it. I should have started it a long time ago.
pickShe is amazing. Her courage is astounding and I loved her story. There really isn't anything else to say.

#two4tuesday Thanks @TheSpineView for the tag!
1. Tough one but I‘ll have to go with the two non-fiction books I read this month, tagged and In Search of a Kingdom.
2. Same ole same ole challenges.
pickA fast easy read memoir by “the girl shot by the taliban.”. I encourage anyone who hasn‘t read it yet to do so, it won‘t take you long. But you learn from a child‘s perspective what life was like before the taliban and what living with terrorism is like. You learn what getting shot at point blank range feels like because you dared to say that women should get an education. She‘s a real hero and this was an inspirational read.
“We traveled by bus to the famous White Palace, a wonder built of white marble so unearthly it floated like a cloud. My friends and I stared in awe at its rooms and gardens. Then we ran around, chasing one another, in the deep green forest.”

It turned out this “Radio Mullah” was a high school dropout with no education of the Koran, sharing his extreme opinions nationwide in Pakistan.
I finished Morocco for #foodandlit so I finally get to start my book for #Pakistan. I‘ve been looking forward to meeting this brave woman and I get to start tonight! @Butterfinger @Catsandbooks
pick4/5 ⭐️ Such incredible strength by this young woman! Her story is by no means an easy or happy read but it is important. I look forward to seeing what Malala's future holds!

This was my #bookspin for August. #bookspinbingo
pickAmazing and brave story. I look forward to Malala‘s future successes for women‘s rights and access to education. I enjoyed hearing her perspective. I had to go back when the book finished and listen to the prologue again, as read by the author.
Day 2 at #LitsySummerCamp was pretty but this work elective kept me inside more than I would have preferred. I slept OK but after 5.5 hours in the car yesterday my back hurt. At lunch, I did a few laps around the property to stretch then sat on this bench looking at the Hackensack River listening to the tagged book.
@ImperfectCJ
What do you plan to read for August? #Pakistan #FoodandLit @Texreader @Catsandbooks
I have not read I Am Malala yet. I don't know why. I have the picture book for Chaya - Twenty Two Cents. We're going to reread A Thousand Questions too.
@Bookwormjillk posted how some food has become part of her norm. My family has eaten Norwegian meatballs three other times. We love it so much. With currant jam.
