Malala‘s Magic Pencil is a Jane Addams awarded book and B written by Malala Yousafzai. It tells the tale and struggle of a young girl named Malala. She has big dreams and aspirations she hopes to fulfill through magic, but realizes that to make them come true she must use the power of her education and voice to be seen, heard, and move the world. A RA works well for sharing this tale with readers.

#BloomingBibliophiles Day 15: Writing home & writing #peace in a magic pencil is the central theme in this picturebook bio of Malala. Over & above the empowering message, I was also moved by the sense of place that was accomplished through Kerascoët‘s art. The pile of rubble, gouged-out buildings, laundry hanging on strings behind walled fences-the sense of home can be smelled, tasted, felt through the pages. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-gJ7

This book by Malala Yousafzai won a Jane Austen award for inspiring young women. It is a F book that I would use for a RA or a PR. This lesson plan https://www.worldbookday.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Primary-Teaching-Ideas-M... is comprehensive and amazing for many grades. #ucflae3414f19

Malala‘s Magic Pencil by Malala Yousafzai and illustrated by Kerascoët, 2017. This is a wonderfully told and beautifully illustrated story of the life of Malala Yousafzai as told by Malala herself.

Pretty sure this was Parker‘s 3rd #littlefeministbookclub book. #littlefeminist #malala #malalayousafzai #malalasmagicpencil #diverselibrary #childrensbooks #diversechildrenslibrary

What a great #childrensbook! I love the positive message and it‘s a great book about the power of education and having a voice.

Malala‘s Magic Pencil is a New York Times Best Seller, and a picture book autobiography. Malala tells her story in a narrative designed for children, while encouraging them to find their magic. I think that it would be interesting to look at Malala Yousafzai for an author study. She has only written this one book for children so it would be quite a contrast to other authors. #ucflae3414sp18

Read this book while I toured the United Nations building, in NYC, back in December.

5⭐️ simple yet beautiful

There are so many wonderful picture book biographies out there for kids now, I decided to highlight them in a display for women's history month. I included some photos and a list of names to see if kids – or parents – could match 'em up.

#UnitedNations #NYC

Read this book while I waited for my U.N. tour, in the U.N. Bookstore!!! 📚

So cool & pretty! #endpapers

Magic is everywhere in the world--in knowledge, beauty, love, peace. The magic is in you, in your words, in your voice.

“...because where I came from, many girls weren‘t allowed to become what they dreamed of.”

Every bit as good as you would expect.
