As a child in Pakistan, Malala made a wish for a magic pencil. She would use it to make everyone happy, to erase the smell of garbage from her city, to sleep an extra hour in the morning. But as she grew older, Malala sees that there are more important things to wish for. She sees a world that needs fixing. And even if she never found a magic pencil, Malala realizes that she can still work hard every day to make her wishes come true. This beautifully illustrated volume tells Malala's story for a younger audience and shows them the worldview that allows Malala to hold on to hope even in the most difficult of times.
