Meet two heroes of Pakistan who stood up for the rights to freedom and education in these inspirational nonfiction tales from acclaimed author-illustrator Jeanette Winter. Two stories of bravery in one beautiful book—including the story of Malala Yousafzai, a winner of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize! One country: Pakistan. Two children: Iqbal Masih and Malala Yousafzai. Each was unafraid to speak out. He, against inhumane child slavery in the carpet trade. She, for the right of girls to attend school. Both were shot by those who disagreed with them—he in 1995, she in 2012. Iqbal was killed instantly; Malala miraculously survived and continues to speak out around the world. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 for her work. The stories of these two courageous children whose bravery transcended their youth, beautifully written and illustrated by celebrated author Jeanette Winter, are an inspiration to all.

这是一本可以两面翻看的书，每一端都讲述了一个关于勇气的故事。温特的插画冷静、丰富、令人印象深刻，文字具有诗歌的韵味。故事中的勇气和力量，为那些生活在水深火热中的孩子带去希望。在巴基斯坦，有两个孩子很出名：一个是男孩伊拜尔，他在2000年获得联合国创办的世界儿童奖；一个是女孩马拉拉，她在2014年获得诺贝尔和平奖。这两个孩子都曾在自己的国家为争取儿童权利做出过贡献，并因此而遭到枪击。不同的是，马拉拉幸运生还，伊拜尔却离开了人世。本书讲述的就是这两个勇敢孩子的真实故事。这本书的作者珍妮特·温特是一位关注时事——尤其关注第三世界落后地区生存困境的童书作家，她所创作的童书中，有相当一部分是对第三世界真实人物与事件的艺术再现。
