Malala’s Magic Pencil is about a girl named Malala who wishes for a magic pencil to make the world a better place. At first, she dreams of using it for fun things, like drawing pretty dresses, but as she grows up, she realizes she wants to use her voice to help children go to school. Malala uses her words to stand up for education for all kids, and she becomes the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner for her bravery!
