Explanation In Favor Of Books Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Tales of Extraordinary Women (Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls #1)
If I could give this more stars, I would. Yes, I know the title indicates this book is for rebel girls. I am a mother of two fairly rebellious boys - but felt it was every bit as relevant for them as it was for females! After all, why shouldn't boys read about fabulous, inspirational women too? This book is an absolute thing of beauty - 100 accessible, creatively written tales of women who helped to shape the world we live in. The illustrations are superb, and it hits just the right note with my two kids (5 and 7). They were initially suspicious that it was going to be one of those 'educational' books, but a few stories in and they were hooked. People with boys, don't be deterred from buying this book, simply because the title indicates a female bias. It's so important that we start recognising the achievement of women (past and present) because they've so often been ignored - and both girls and boys can benefit from this. Also - a word of warning, grown-ups are likely to get a bit hooked on it too. :-)

The subtitle of this collection is 100 Tales of Extraordinary Women, and it is beautifully done. The short passages cover every continent and every race, religion, and sexualitythat is, the stories are about girls and women with lesbians and transgender individuals identifying as female included. It is ravishingly interesting. Each short passage is a tightly written biography suitable for 9-14 year-olds, informative, and inspiring. Many unusual job descriptions and lifelong purpose areThis hardback book, is definitely one of the most beautiful books that I own. Just a glance at the front cover honestly makes you just want to read it. I just wish, I could give this book more than five stars.First of all, this book indicates that it is for "Rebel girls" As this may be true, it is also extremely relevant for boys aswell. I think both sexes should read this book and celebrate remarkable and inspirational women.This book contains 100 stories about strong, fearless, motivating ,
Rather than 'reinvents fairy tales', I think it is more accurate to say that this book tells true stories about 100 (yes, a hundred!) inspiring and extraordinary women from all over the world, written in a special way so you can read every chapter as a bedtime story to your child. Every chapter also comes with an illustration from 60 female artists (again, from every corner of the globe). It's very hard to dislike this book. Reading this as an adult, I found myself searching for more information
I was so excited to read this! What an inspiring little book it is!I did love how straight to the point this book was. It absolutely inspired me to research some of the women who really inspired or interested me, but I do wish that we focused on each woman a little bit more, maybe resulting in less women in the book, but carried on into the sequel. This was because in a few cases I felt like I was lacking the weight of their achievement because it didn't have a load of context. Its
This is difficult to review because, while I loved the artwork and the lovely cover, some of the historic people that were featured in this book are very controversial. Many of them are not fit to be held up as role models for young girls! Pirates, shady politicians, drug addicts, tyrants from Ancient History, and downright gross people; I counted 19 bios out of 100 that I had serious problems with, and which I would never allow a child to read about.I liked the bios of the decent people, like
RATING: 4 STARS(Review Not on Blog)This is a fabulous book, period. It is great for both children and adults (of any gender). The artwork is so gorgeous, I want to buy another copy just to frame the pages. The book has great women from history and present that have been brave and smart. Each woman has a page write-up and is great for story time. Rebel girls not only entertains and provides history but also gives women a place in history they so long have deserved. I highly recommend this book!
Okay. Well. This is awkward. I thought this would be right up my alley. Feminist history stories? Please! ... but I didn't realise this was a collection of short stories. I thought it was a collection of short bios of rebel women in history, and look, it is technically. However, the language is so simple that it read like fiction. I know that is not a bad thing in itself - stories about women from across the globe doing amazing things are powerful, especially for the target demographic - but I
