Les grands témoins en BD #3

The third volume of Bayard Presse's Les grands témoins en BD series brings another remarkable true story to life in comics form, this time centered on Malala Yousafzai — named right on the cover alongside the Alfred Nobel Peace Prize 2014 citation she holds proudly in her hands. The warmly illustrated cover shows a young woman in an orange headscarf, medal and award document displayed front and center, with a busy crowd and loaded vehicles stretching into the background behind her. It's an inviting, quietly moving image that sets the tone for the kind of human-scale storytelling this French-language graphic biography series does so well.
