Malala's story opens as her would-be assassin descends upon her school van, then backtracks to tell how Malala spoke out repeatedly against the Taliban's ban on educating girls.Winter describes the Taliban attack, and Malala's miraculous survival, in simple, child-appropriate language.In the luminous full-page center spread, Malala and Iqbal stand on mountains, gazing at each other under a starry sky, flying kites that dance across to the other's side. With an economy of words, unembellished language and her signature flat, child-centric illustrations, Jeanette Winter (The Librarian of Basra) creates a quietly magnificent tribute to two extraordinary human beings.The front-to-back story features Malala, the reverse tells the story of Iqbal, and Winter smoothly joins them together in the center spread.
