Published by Puffin, “Malala's Magic Pencil” is aimed for readers aged 4-8, and is categorised as "Juvenile Nonfiction" and "Children's Social Activists Biographies" on Hachette Book Group and Amazon, respectively.

The 48-page-long book’s description says it helps children see “the worldview that allowed Malala to hold on to hope even in the most difficult of times” since the world “needed fixing”.

It encourages little kids to see they “could still work hard every day to make her wishes come true”.
