Muzoon: A Syrian Refugee Speaks Out

Muzoon takes readers on her perilous and ultimately hopeful journey from refugee child to advocate for others in need. When her family had to flee Syria, 14-year-old Muzoon was told to pack only the most essential things—and so she packed her schoolbooks. This is the inspiring true story of a Syrian refugee who fought hard for what she needed—and grew into one of the world's leading advocates for education. This memoir tells the story of her life in Syria, her family's decision to leave, and the upheaval of life in a refugee camp. She knew education was the key to a better future and worked to convince other kids to come to school, earning the nickname "Malala of Syria." Muzoon is now a UNICEF goodwill ambassador and an advocate for refugees, education, and girls' rights.
