BOOK: : I AM MALALA



BACK FROM HELL

When she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school and few expected her to survive” wrote her co author

Published in 2013 by Little, Brown and Company, I AM MALALA  is a kind of fresh autobiography written with  a beautiful voice  by a 15 year old girl who survived her shooting, on Tuesday October 9, 2012.

Personal tone ,  novel –like work and forays in India distant and recent history,...I AM MALALA announces the coming Muslim world, a peaceful one. A dedicated daughter of a really father, Malala wishes education, freedom and achievement for all the boys and the girls the world over.


Listen:
When I stand in front on my window and look out, I see tall buildings, long roads full of vehicles moving in orderly lines, neat green hedges and lawns, and tidy pavements to walk on. I close my eyes and for a moment ti am back in my valley-the high –snow-topped mountains, green waving fields and fresh blue rivers-and my heart smiles when it looks at the people of Swat. My mind transports me back to my school and there I am reunited with my friends and teachers. I meet my best friend Moniba and we sit together, talking and joking as if I had never left.

Then, I remember I am in Birmingham, England.

The school was founded by my father before I was born, and on the wall above us KHUSHL SCHOOL was painted proudly in red and white letters.

I love my god. I thank my Allah. I talk to him all day. Peace in every home. every street, every village, every country, this is my dream. Education for every boy a and every girl in the world.

I am Malala. My world had changed but I have not.
