Below is the review from a book club subscriber

‘Our 9 and 10 year old were SO excited to receive their latest book, “Malala’s Magic Pencil”. From the moment they opened the package, oh my goodness, they couldn’t contain their excitement about reading it together. My 10 year old daughter, Jade, had read the book in school, so she was VERY excited to read it again, and to introduce it to her brother! We had THE BEST late night chat before bed, thanks to the awesome insert included with age appropriate dialogue starters, about what they would do with their magic pencil. Some of the ideas included building homes for the homeless to live in for free, making/giving things to people to make them smile and help them, etc. We also talked a lot about opportunities to stand up for others and what that can look like. Such awesome dialogue!! Thank you for encouraging children and adults to engage in learning, reading and becoming more aware of how to be compassionate and caring by understanding other’s perspectives.’
