If you are not already familiar with the Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls you are missing out. I absolutely love these books. They are empowering and interesting, for both adults and children.
I learned about so many great women through this book. What I love most about the stories is that the women come from all different areas. You don’t just meet actors and singers, you also meet scientists and artists and activists. It really opens young peoples’ eyes to the many different ways a girl can make a difference.
This book is always easy to read and understand for young people. It also has some important words like feminism and activism in bold, which encourages exploration and discussion around the terms. Oh and it’s a seriously beautifully illustrated book.
Don’t hesitate and pick up a copy of the book today.
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
