We are displaced : my journey and stories from refugee girls around the world / by Yousafzai, Malala,1997-author.(CARDINAL)610109; Welch, Liz,1969-author.(CARDINAL)354184;
"Malala Yousafzai shares various stories of displacement, including her own. Part memoir, part communal storytelling, We Are Displaced introduces readers to some of the incredible girls Malala has met on her many journeys and lets each one tell her story--girls who have lost their community, relatives, and often the only world they've ever known, but have not lost hope. Longing for home and fear of an uncertain future binds all of these young women, but each is unique. In a time of immigration crises, war, and border conflicts, We Are Displaced is an important reminder that every single one of the 79.5 million currently displaced is a person--often a young. person--with dreams for a better, safer world."--Back coverAccelerated Reader AR
