I will read any of the rebel girls books! I loved this so much, and so did my young daughters. This book is for everyone!

Yet another wonderful instalment in this series. This is the 3rd book I have read from them and each one has been an enjoyable read.

I particularly love the art work that accompanies each entry, it really adds an extra level of depth and the selection of a quote from the person to go alongside it furthers this too.

I really like the focus on younger changemakers. This book is aimed at all but it has a particular focus on inspiring young people, in particularly girls, to go on and achieve great things. Creating an entry to the series that focuses solely on younger people is a really good way to inspire many and show them that they are never too young to change the world, or achieve their dreams or live life on their own terms.

Another great installment from Rebel Girls!

I don't know what else to say that I haven't said previously but I love these books and wish I had read them as a kid! They focus on short biographies of diverse women who have done incredible things but written and illustrated for children. They are always so inspiring and impactful, and I love that at the end of this book, there's a spot for the reader to write and draw their own story, and there are fun little activities!

Another great entry to the Rebel Girls library! This installment follows the usual format, sharing stories about a number of inspiring figures. Previous installments have had a wide range of people from different times, so this volume it was refreshing to see that it was concentrating on figures who are contemporary figures. I think taking this route with this installment was smart, as these are figures closer in age to the intended audience and will help them possibly see themselves in the girls represented. As with the other books in this series the art was vibrant and brought each person to life on the page.

I love the real examples of strong women and girls that the Rebel Girls series offers. Its a great starting point to learn about a diverse group from all over the world. The illustrations are wonderful and colourful, capturing your attention. What I like most about this book is that even though it's intended audience is for kids, it's really for anyone that wants to learn more about strong, empowering females.
I can't wait to purchase a physical copy for my nieces! (if I had nephews they would definitely be reading it too!) Thank you to NetGalley and Rebel Girls for this advanced copy. I look forward to the next one!

I really enjoyed this book and will definitely use these phenomenal young women’s stories with my students. I do wish their was more information provided however for research projects this is a great starting point for students to get a basic understanding of the change they have made on the world and go from there. It is an inspiring book and should help young girls realize that their dreams are attainable no matter what they think.

Review: 3.5/5

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a free copy in exchange for an honest review!

Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Inspiring Young Change Makers is an informational book about youth who have made a difference throughout society.

The illustrations of each change maker were beautiful and very attention grabbing. I loved getting to learn about each of the featured people in the book however I wish there were more details included. The way the information was being presented felt very quick and short and if you didn’t pay attention you were likely to miss all the relevant info. This book would be perfect for families with young kids to show that anyone can make a difference!

As with all Rebel Girls books, 100 Changemakers is phenomenal and one we absolutely will need as a hardcopy for our Rebel Girls collection. I absolutely love sharing with both my daughter AND son the power of women in this world. This book has gorgeous illustrations and engaging stories of girls and young women in all shapes, abilities and colours with an array of interests and accomplishments.

Thank you to Rebel Girls and Netgalley for this ARC!

I really enjoyed the stories this book had to offer. I felt empowered by seeing girls who stand for what they believe in, set their minds to and accomplish big things, and overall struggle but still have confidence in themselves. The set up of the pages was perfect with the pictures and quotes.

Thank you to Rebel Girls for the Digital Advanced Copy!

The latest Rebel Girls book, this time focusing on the successes of 100 Young Changemakers, was an enlightening, heartwarming read I would honestly recommend to anyone. Reading incredible experiences from incredible young women made me feel so proud to be a woman. This is a book I will be reading to my future children, with this book teaching them they are capable of anything and when things get tough, push through and you will still end up on top. An easy read you can pick up and read a few pages here and there, I highly recommend!

Rebel Girls: 100 Young Changemakers is a wonderful book. With each turn of a page, you are greeted with a description of the young person’s achievements along with beautiful artwork. Every story comes with a portrait of the changemaker, each illustrated by a different author. I cherished the idea of so many talented artists being featured in the book! The inspiring true stories in the book had me breaking off on most pages to go research and watch videos of the amazing achievements made by these incredible young women. Overall, this book sends the message that children are capable of absolutely anything.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

We love everything Rebel Girls in this house so I am happy to see so many spin-offs from the original book. Great book to read with my daughter before bed as we choose one or two each night.

Another excellent installment in this stellar series. We (my daughters and I) particularly appreciated the inclusion of Keke Palmer and Zendaya.

This was a cute, educating and nostalgic read that was surprisingly and delightfully intersectional! Not much more, not much less.

I cannot wait to buy this book for my nieces and nephews! This book was so well-done that I don’t really have any critiques. I enjoyed the diversity of women in the book as well as the artwork.

I received an electronic ARC from Rebel Girls through NetGalley.
Another powerful entry in this set of books. Readers meet 100 young women who took on challenges and stayed true to their passions. They come from across the globe and are involved in a wide variety of fields. Each faced their own obstacles and found ways to succeed. They are an inspiration to young readers. Also included at the end are short blurbs about more young women, a glossary, resources, and a space for young women to write their own story. A definite gift for families. Looking forward to sharing this with my own granddaughter.

Whether you are looking for a beautiful children’s book to add to your collection or browsing to find a perfect present for a kid in your life, this one will be perfect with its vibrant illustrations and inspiring real life role models. 
Newest book in the Rebel Girls series that brings already familiar beautiful design and this time contemporary international women to read about. I love the inclusivity in this book and the large variety of women presented.
If you are looking into something to add to your kid’s teacher present this book will be something they’ll love to add to their shelves in the classroom.

I would like to thank Rebel Girls for providing me with an ARC.

This was a great entry into this series. I loved the diversity in this book. There were trans women, disabled women, and indigenous women featured in this book. The art is beautiful and brightly colored. Each section had some really great information on each of the women featured. They are short and precise. I loved that this book featured younger women in this one. Past entries will feature some young women in them, but heavily feature older women or women in history. I loved that they took the time to make a book to highlight young women who are making a difference in this world and inspiring the future generations of women.
