At sixteen, she has become a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest nominee ever for the Nobel Peace Prize...I AM MALALA is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls' education, of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school, and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons.
