Every Day is Malala Day is one of the Silver Birch Express nominees for 2015. It's the first in the series that I read aloud at school. This week I read it to grade's 3 to 7. The Silver Birch Express is geared for grade's 3/4 but in an effort to get the majority of the school voting I try to read as many of the books as I can to the kids when they come for their weekly library period.
The book is written as an open letter to Malala. Unfortunately I started the week off with the grade 3 class and that conversation got a bit derailed talking about getting shot in the head. I think if I read with that class again I'd be better armed to sway the discussion but the other classes had some great discussion about Malala afterwards.
