The next book from Nobel winner Malala Yousafzai is a story of refugees.

Little, Brown Books for Young Readers told The Associated Press on Monday that Yousafzai’s “We Are Displaced” will come out Sept. 4. The book will combine her own experiences with accounts she has heard while visiting refugee camps. The 20-year-old Pakistani activist for female education said in a statement that she hoped to show “the humanity behind the statistics.”

In 2014, she became the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner ever when given the award at age 17. Yousafzai also is known for her best-selling memoir, “I Am Malala.”

She has also written a picture book titled Malala's Magic Pencil for young readers all over the world. The book is inspired from Malala's own childhood.

Public appearances, interviews, projects, studying at prestigious institute, where the heck can anyone find the time to write books with such speed? I suspect possession.

Good job Malala. They did not give you a Nobel Prize for nothing and your great father deserves teh credit for raising such a brave and talented daughter and BBC for discovering the hidden diamond and polishing it for the world to see.
