"Heroes come in all sizes. Fifteen-year-old Malala Yousafzai captured the attention of the world by standing up to the Taliban in Pakistan, even though they shot her for going to school - a basic right denied to millions of girls. But Malala would not be silenced. Through her bravery, she gives a voice to girls everywhere. This letter to Malala from girls around the world expresses their sympathy, sisterhood, and admiration for her. Many of them know firsthand the barriers that keep girls out of the classroom - barriers like poverty, discrimination, and violence. Malala is their leader, their champion, and their friend. She inspires them to stand with her and fight for a better world." - Dust jacket.
