Free as a Bird: The Story of Malala

40 pp. | HarperCollins/B+B | January, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-256077-3 $17.99
(3) K-3 The inspiring story of the young Pakistani girls'-education activist is told simply yet with some lyricism. Maslo's stylized acrylic and ink illustrations--in a strong, limited palette of blue, red, black, and gray--show realistic details but portray Malala's assassination attempt by the Taliban as an abstract painting without text (afterward the incident is described in words). Includes an excellent author's note. Reading list, timeline, websites.
