Malala's Magic Pencil (Malala Yousafzai)

Summary: As a child in Pakistan, Malala made a wish for a magic pencil.  She would use it to make everyone happy, to erase the smell of garbage from her city, to sleep an extra hour in the morning.  But as she grew older, Malala saw that there were more important things to wish for.  She saw a world that needed fixing.  And even if she never found a magic pencil, Malala realized that she could still work hard every day to make her wishes come true.  (from amazon.com)
