According to the newspaper, the book, “I am Malala”, will be published by Weidenfeld & Nicholson for Britain and commonwealth countries. Little Brown will publish the book for the rest of the world.

“I want to tell my story, but it will also be the story of 61 million children who can’t get education. I want it to be part of the campaign to give every boy and girl the right to go to school. It is their basic right,” Malala said.

“I hope this book will reach people around the world, so they realise how difficult it is for some children to get access to education,” She added.

Malala Yousafzai is also a nominee for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize.
