This week we are reading an article from our Storyworks magazine entitled "Malala the Powerful". This article tells the story of a courageous Pakistani girl who risks everything to take a stand against the Taliban. Malala inspires the world in her quest to gain freedoms for women; specifically for girls to be able to attend school. As we examine the details of her story, we reflect on our freedoms and the benefits we as Americans take for granted.
