A copy of I Am Malala is not included with this unit study and will need to be purchased separately from your preferred bookstore or retailer. This unit study corresponds with the original version of I Am Malala, not the Young Reader's Edition. We encourage parents to do their due diligence by researching and reading any novels before teaching them to their children. This ensures the material aligns with your family's values and is the best fit for your child's education.
