This compelling, timely, and empowering picture book introduces
children to Maria Toorpakai Wazir, a Pakistani girl who braved
threats from the Taliban in order to play the sport she loved. Meet
Maria Toorpakai Wazir, a Pakistani girl who loved sports and longed
for the freedom that boys in her culture enjoyed. She joined a
squash club to pursue her dream, and was taunted, teased, and
beaten--but still continued playing. Then, when Maria received an
award from the President of Pakistan for outstanding achievement,
the Taliban threatened her squash club, her family, and her life.
Although forced to quit the team, she refused to give up. Maria
kept practicing the game in her bedroom every day for three years!
Her hard work and perseverance in the face of overwhelming
obstacles will inspire all children.
