World Kid Lit Month 2021: PAKISTAN

PAKISTAN: 

Malala's magic pencil. 

By Malala Yousafzai; illustrated by Kerascoët. 

As a child in Pakistan, Malala made a wish for a magic pencil that she could use to redraw reality. She would use it to give gifts to her family, to erase the smell from the rubbish dump near her house, to sleep an extra hour in the morning. As she grew older, Malala wished for bigger and bigger things. She saw a world that needed fixing. And even if she never found a magic pencil, Malala realised that she could still work hard every day to make her wishes come true.
