About this ebook

Discover the life of Muzoon Almellehan, from Syrian refugee to advocate, perfect for newly independent readers, in this Step 4 Biography Reader.

Before she was the "Malala of Syria", Muzoon lived in a province called Dara'a, in the country of Syria. Join Muzoon during her early years in Dara'a where she grew up surrounded by family. And when war comes knocking at her door, follow her heartwrenching journey across the world to make a new life.

Muzoon has grown into an internationally recognized advocate for refugees, for education, and for the rights of girls and women, and is now a UNICEF goodwill ambassador—the first refugee to play that role.
