Malala grew up in a region called Swat Valley in Pakistan, where she loved
reading books π and going to school. Her dad, Ziauddin Yousafzai, was a teacher, and he encouraged her to learn. She started school when she was just five years old! π
Malala was inspired by her fatherβs passion for education and wanted to help other girls too. At a young age, she began writing a blog for the BBC, sharing stories about girls not allowed to go to school. Her ideas were powerful, and many people listened! π
