Rebel girls climate warriors by Rebel girls.
Join Greta Thunberg for a climate strike. Plant a tree with Wangari Maathai. Stand with water protector Autumn Peltier. And turn trash into profits and independence with Isatou Ceesay. Rebel Girls Climate Warriors tells the stories of the ingenuity and commitment of these women and more, including Canadian novelist Margaret Atwood, Nigerian activist Esohe Ozigbo, Indigenous Ecuadorian leader Nemonte Nenquimo, and Thai landscape architect Kotchakorn Voraakhom. It is illustrated by female and nonbinary artists from around the world.
A really good read for Kids. Loved the cover. 4*.

I absolutely adore this series. Starting with Rebel girls, I am happy that we see more titles that give space and attention to extraordinary women in history and contemporary times, Climate warriors are balaced regarding their choice of women featured, we get a lot of marginalized folks, BIPOC, children, teenagers, adults, the whole mix.
I especially appreciate the space given to BIPOC among illustrators. The pictures are, as usual, gorgeous and captivating, capturing the essence of each woman presented. Texts are age appropriated for children, which gives them a dream-like character, yet they are still informative enough to grab the attention of an adult reader.
As for the choice of topic - climate warriors - I think this goes without saying, climate change is a topic sorely neglected, yet of utmost importance to all of us. We all need to educate our children AND ourselves in this regard and this book provides a great tool to do just that.

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with an ARC of this book.

Brilliant stories of the women who have battled for the environment and for our planet. The contents are really clear and there is something for everyone. The illustrations are beautiful - not babyish, not cartoons but simply representative of the strength of the characters in the book. A must have on an 8-10 year olds shelf - or their parent’s .

I love this SO much! It is perfect for anyone with kids or teachers to use in a classroom! I love that different cultures are represented and that I was introduced to women I had not heard about before. Being a climate warrior is so important right now and this book shows women who are just that. I love the illustrations as well, great book!

This book tells the stories of women, who with their ingenuity and commitment tried and try to protect the earth.
I liked the selection of the women since I got to learn about women and their work that I had never heard off.
As always with these books the illustrations were perfect.
I highly recommend it for everyone!!

Another great Rebel Girls book! This one is chock full of beautiful illustrations of girls and women around the world who have worked/ are working on environmental conservation in many different ways. I had never heard of many of these impressive ladies. Love how the entries are written like fairytales (once upon a time...) Some of my favorite entries are on Angelina Arora, Esohe Ozigbo, and Marjory Stoneman Douglas, but they all sound like strong amazing people. Definite recommend for young girls.

Such an inspiring book for young girls to begin advocating against climate change. I’m so glad there are stories like these accessible to young ladies now that could change the world.

Thank you Netgalley and Rebel Girls for a copy of this book.

I have been a fan of the rebel girls series and I wish I had books like these growing up. I recommend them to young and adults both- it's a beautiful journey reading this book.

Spectacular as always, I loved the illustrations and the stories were diverse and easy for my kids to follow and pay attention to. Speaking about one titular rebel girl : “she read a statistic that really bothered her: less than 1 percent of environmental professionals were people of color” I don’t know how much that has changed since a budding environmentalist read it, but I do know that this book definitely does not make that feel like the case. It was full of stories of Indigenous, Asian, Hispanic, and Black women all working towards saving the environment. I loved that I got to learn about new people (the only ones familiar to me were Wangari Maathai, Greta Thunberg, and Margaret Atwood). Recommend for anyone who’s been loving the rebel girls books and anyone who is interested in climate based activism.

This is the second Rebel Girls book that I have read and I am absolutely loving this series. As a former elementary school teacher, I have noticed that kids sometimes pass up nonfiction books because they can come across as “clinical” sometimes.

However, this book is the exact opposite. Children will love the colorful illustrations of the climate warriors and their stories will inspire them to make changes that will impact the world.

I also loved that this book included activities at the end. The activities are perfect to complete as a family on the weekends or on school breaks.

This book was a quick, knowledgable and inspirational read. I'm so happy that young girls have access to books like this, and I especially love the coverage of climate change and how it gives them the inspiration to become more environmentally friendly knowing what other girls have achieved.

This is a book that all of us should read, not just those who are younger. The stories in this book show just how much good can be accomplished by doing even the simplest of things to make the world we live in better. It teaches them how even though they are young, they can still have an impact. It also shows them how that can help others as well. I hope this is a book that parents read to their children to help them see that the climate crisis is real but there are people who are working hard to leave them a world that is not only safe but one where they can enjoy all the wonders of the plant and animal kingdoms.

Thank you, NetGalley for the chance to read this book!

What an inspiring book! I'm sure when I have time I'll look for these women's instagram/newsletters and check out more of their work!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced copy.

In true Rebel Girls fashion, this book takes a look at important women who dared to make a difference with the climate. The book itself is absolutely beautiful. With a full page drawing of each of the women and the facing page bearing information about said woman. I loved to see that with some of the women, they added a QR code so girls could scan and read more about the hero. Towards the end of the book, there is a part for the reader to write their own story and ways to "celebrate nature" aka become better keepers of the climate.
These books are such a powerful way to tell young girls, and boys too, that women make a difference in the world. They are all perfect gifts for the budding reader.
Many thanks to Net Galley for providing me with an ARC of this book.

Rebel Girls: Climate Warriors at least has some women (girls) that I've heard of! The fact that this is even a book tells us how important the subject is to children these days. The fact they can see young people who can make a difference (whatever their gender) is important.
I like the single page format, you can look up online to find out more about them.

Another amazing Rebel Girls book for your #bookshelves - the illustrations in this one may be my favourite to date !! One of the things I love about the Rebel a girls books is the diversity representation and this one does not disappoint on that front - whether it be race, age, occupation

This is a fun and exciting little book. I got it to read with my daughters and I think they would enjoy it. Seeing so many women to follow in their footsteps. Some not even that much older than my daughters. I really enjoyed the layout and the illustrations. Overall it was a fantastic book.
