Every Day is Malala Day

Author: Rosemary McCarney

Published in association with Plan, the international charity whose mission is to improve the lives of children and whose initiative ‘Because I am a Girl’ campaigned to  ensure every girl in the world gets a minimum of nine years of quality education, this book is derived from a video produced for the first Malala Day in 2013. The book is a letter addressed to Malala Yousafzai, the inspirational girl who captured the world’s attention when she was targeted and shot by the Taliban for insisting on the right of girls to go to school.  Accompanying the simply written letter are photographs of girls from around the world, from Zimbabwe to Myanmar, from Brazil to Liberia, who express their sympathy, sisterhood and admiration for Malala, her bravery and determination.  Many of these girls have first-hand experience of the barriers that stand in the way of education, from discrimination and violence to poverty and early marriage.  The book is a powerful reminder of what she has achieved and the work that is still to be continued.  An extract from the speech she gave on her 16th birthday in 2013 to 1000 delegates at the United Nations Youth Assembly concludes the final chapter, including her often-quoted words:  ‘One child, one teacher, one pen, and one book can change the world.  Education is the only solution.’
