The photographs show young girls from around the world. Some are smiling at the camera; some are shown learning in school. The most evocative photos are those that depict the roadblocks to learning; for example, a shockingly young girl dressed as a bride, a girl surrounded by antagonistic boys, and the shadowy figures of one person winding up to punch an other are incredibly moving. At the end of the book, the author lets Malala do the talking. An excerpt of her UN speech is printed without visuals. The speech is well-written and inspiring, but the first part of the book is so visually stunning that the transition to three pages of text seems like a missed opportunity. With many books about an issue, the author educates the readers without proposing action. This book provides a list of organizations to support at the end of the book. An inspiring letter of tribute to Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teenager famous for her determined advocacy for girls' education, illustrated with photos of her and other young people from around the world. Proceeds benefit the I Am a Girl Fund, sponsored by Plan International, an international nonprofit devoted to children's rights and welfare. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Originally published in Canada as Every Day Is Malala Day, and here in the United States as Dear Malala, We Stand with You - I really have no idea why the title needed to be changed - this is an engaging snapshot of the state of girls' education, worldwide. The text is very simple, ranging from a word or two to a sentence per page, but the themes explored - poverty, discrimination, violence - are quite mature. One of the things I appreciated was that there was a country label for each of the photographs included, so I was very puzzled that the only photograph to omit such a label was the one of the child bride. Leaving that one critique aside, I think this book could work very well as a companion to any one of a number of picture-book biographies of Malala - Raphaële Frier's Malala: Activist for Girls' Education, Lina Maslo's Free as a Bird: The Story of Malala, Malala's own Malala's Magic Pencil, etc. - as well as a title to read on Malala Day, or during any discussion of the importance of education for girls.
