I guess there is inspiration just about everywhere – it is to you where
you choose to find it and stand up for what you believe in. Malala did
that. She stood up for what she believed in and was shot by the Taliban.
Call it a miracle or a game of fate – she survived the shooting. She
lived and she tells her story in her book, “I am Malala” with Christina
Lamb.
The book could very well have become sentimental. However, Malala does not let it. She focuses not only her life story but also about what she believes in – which is Education for girls and women and how that can change the world. The book is about how to not give up hope and stand in the face of adversity, for what you believe in. “I am Malala” is not just about one girl – it is about one sixteen year old girl who stood up perhaps for everyone else as well, who stood up for her basic right to education
The story of a young girl who battles against odds to live her
dream of getting educated is what I Am Malala is about. Malala’s
survival story is sure to create a storm of emotions within and is truly
inspiring.
Summary of the book
I Am Malala tells the story of a young girl who
survived the Taliban shooting in Swat Valley and stood for her right to
education. The book focuses not only on Malala’s story but also her
fight for the right to education of other girls.
The book further focuses on how Malala’s family supported her and
stressed on her education in a society which crowns sons. Not only is
the book gripping, but inspiring as well and leaves you with a feeling
of remorse for taking what we get easy for granted.
