Dear Malala, We Stand With You by Rosemary McCarney

An inspiring letter to Malala Yousafzai, winner of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize, that is both a show of support and a call to action for girls around the world. Malala became the youngest person to win the Nobel Peace Prize after she survived being shot in the head by the Taliban for speaking out in favor of a girl's right to an education. She survived this brutal attack and has emerged as a very powerful voice for social justice in the world. Dear Malala, We Stand with You captures the impact Malala has had on girls from all walks of life. In powerfully simple language and stunning photographs, the struggles from poverty and violence faced by girls everywhere become a catalyst for change. The book includes an excerpt from Malala’s UN speech and provides readers with ways they can help and participate. Malala’s bravery has shown that one person and one voice is enough to change the world. As UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said, the terrorists are most afraid of "the girl with a book." Author Rosemary McCarney has over 20 years of international development work and runs the Canadian operations of Plan International as President and CEO.

Who Is Malala?
On October 9, 2012, a fifteen-year-old girl on her way to school in Pakistan
was shot in the head by a member of the Taliban. Malala Yousafzai had been
speaking out in public about the right of all girls to have an education
something the Taliban were against. They thought that shooting her would
stop her campaign, but they didnt know how strong Malala is. She was flown
to england for lifesaving treatment, and has recovered. Malala and two other
girls who were wounded in the attack are attending school and living in
england. Malala is more determined than ever to work for every childs right
to an education. For her bravery and effort on behalf of all children, she
has received almost thirty awards and honors, including Pakistans National
Youth Peace Prize, the KidsRights International Childrens Peace Prize,
President Clintons Global Citizen Award, the Ambassador of Conscience
Award from Amnesty International, and the Freedom of Thought Prize from
the european Parliament. In 2013, Malala Yousafzai became the youngest
person ever nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
