Malala Yousafzai's life has been anything but Watch online Sexy Warriors (2014) full movieordinary.
Born in 1997 in Pakistan's Swat Valley, the now 20-year-old Nobel Peace Prize-winner rose to fame by speaking out about the importance of girls' education, and she was targeted by the Taliban for it. Through her signature tenacity and powerful voice, Malala's early activism has since grown into an international movement.
In her forthcoming picture book, Malala's Magic Pencil, Malala returns to her childhood to teach younger readers about the importance of hope, believing in magic, and making the world a better place.

She wanted one for herself — she'd use it to make her loved ones happy, get rid of the smell of garbage that lingered in her city, and even add an extra hour of sleep in the morning.
But she soon realized that there were so many more important things in the world that needed fixing, and whether or not she ever did find her own magic pencil, she could still inspire positive change. When you find your voice, Malala believes, every pencil can be magic.
"This picture reminds me of how we used to watch TV," Yousafzai said about this excerpt, illustrated by the French artist duo Kerascoët. "My brothers sitting on the ground, and me being curious. It was a peaceful time in Swat Valley, and I like to be reminded of that time in my life."
Those familiar with the story of her life so far — which has been covered extensively in the media, as well as her 2013 memoir I Am Malala and the 2015 documentary He Named Me Malala— know that peaceful childhood was short-lived.
"It was a peaceful time in Swat Valley, and I like to be reminded of that time in my life."
After blogging under a pen name for the BBC about life under Taliban rule, and gradually gaining global prominence for her work, Malala was shot by a masked gunman who boarded her school bus on Oct. 9, 2012. It took months of surgeries and rehabilitation for her to heal, but she eventually recuperated. Now living in the UK, Malala has fought for the world's most vulnerable girls ever since.
Malala's Magic Penciladvances that mission, and aims to teach children between 4 and 8 years old about her life, and how not all children get the same opportunities.
"I have met many young children who want to know about what happened in my life and why I believe in education for all, so it was important for me to share my story with them," Malala said in marketing materials provided by Little, Brown.
"For this age, a picture book felt like the best way — to use pictures and to simplify the events in a way that younger kids can understand. There are scary parts to my story or details that are complicated to explain, but I wanted to be able to share it with a younger audience as best as I could," she said.
Malala, who just joined Twitter this summer, revealed the cover of Malala's Magic Pencilwith a tweet on Aug. 3. She followed up with a heartwarming photo of her mother reading it.
"So happy that my mother, Toor Pekai, who is learning English, is the first one to read the book," she said.

Malala is currently on a six-month "Girl Power Trip," meeting young girls in North America, Latin America, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa, before she starts college at Oxford University in the fall. The trip culminates with the book being published on Oct. 17 from publisher Little, Brown.
When asked what she hopes children take away from Malala's Magic Pencil, Malala said:
"I hope that they find their magic pencil. My magic pencil was my voice. I myself am curious what they will learn from this book, and I hope they'll reach out and tell me."
