Absolutely aspirational. Finally, after reading several poor-quality picturebooks telling the story of Malala, along comes a picturebook written by Malala herself and illustrated by Kerascoet. I loved both elements equally and think the illustrator did a wonderful job of making powerful points about the problems in Pakistan, implicitly. The narrative is so well written and accessible and the illustrations have an almost cartoon-like appeal which carry no humour but a sense of reality that makes the story feel distant enough for the younger reader to question and explore and yet real enough to reflect on. Everyone should read this story and when they're older, they should then read her extended autobiography too.
