La veritable història d''una nena que desitjava un món millor. Guanyadora del Premi Nobel de la Pau Quan la Malala era nena al Pakistan desitjava un llapis màgic. Ella el faria servir per... -dibuixar un forrellat a la seva porta perquè els seus germans no la molestessin. -aturar el temps i així poder dormir una hora més cada matí. -eliminar la pudor de l''abocador que hi havia al costat de casa seva. Però la Malala va créixer, el seu món va canviar i també van canviar els seus desitjos. El seu dret d''anar a escola va ser amenaçat -simplement, per ser nena-. En lloc d''un llapis màgic, va agafar-ne un de debò. I va escriure tota sola a la seva habitació sobre els desafiaments als quals s''enfrontava, i arreu del món moltes persones van llegir les seves paraules. I els desitjos de la Malala van començar a fer-se realitat. MALALA YOUSAFZAI, símbol internacional, activista per l''educació, i la guanyadora més jove del Premi Nobel explica la inspiradora història d''una nena que va créixer en una regió esquinçada per la guerra sense deixar d''apreciar la màgia de l''esperança en tot allò que l''envoltava.

And even if she never found a magic pencil, Malala realized that she could still work hard every day to make her wishes come true.This beautifully illustrated picture book tells Malala's story, in her own words, for a younger audience and shows them the worldview that allowed her to hold on to hope and to make her voice heard even in the most difficult of times.
