Two people of Pakistan stood up for freedom and education. They were not politicians or even adults. They were Iqbal and Malala. Two children who wanted the rights given to others.
In Jeanette Winter's newest picture book, Malala A brave Girl from a Pakistan/Iqbal A Brave Boy from Pakistan, we are introduced to these two powerful stories. Open the book on one side: we see Malala Yousafzai. She spoke out so girls could go to school. Flip it over and we see Iqbal Masih. He spoke out against child slavery in the carpet trade. (READ MORE)

In 1995 a young boy was killed. Recently, a young girl was shot. For doing one thing. Speaking out for freedom. We know the story of Malala: A young girl who wanted to go to school. Wanted her rights as a human being and was shot by the Taliban for her beliefs. Many, however, do not know Iqbal, a young boy who was, at age 4, given to a factory owner to pay his family's $12 debt. Iqbal, when found out he was a free person, spoke out against the slavery of children like him. At age 12 he was shot while riding his bicycle. Two very brave children, trying to just make a better life for others like them. Jeanette Winter's simple text introduces a younger student, and adults, to two great and powerful stories. ~Reviewed Jeanette

This bilingual picture book biography is so many things it's hard to know where to start. It's a wordless (nearly wordless) book, a celebration of a unique artist, and a joyful fiesta of color and feeling. Rather than a literal interpretation of Kahlo's work, this gem is a distillation of the spirit of Mexico's most beloved painter, rendered in puppets and painted backdrops. Turn the pages slowly and savor each beautiful image. Viva Frida! ~ Reviewed by Jennifer Armstrong
