This book was so adorable, I loved everything about it, the illustrations were so well done, they suited the book perfectly, the story was amazing as well. I’m sure the kids are going to be just as enthralled with this amazing book as I was. I will definitely recommend! Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this early copy

Thoughts:
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. This book is filled with so many inspirational girls and women. Despite it being aimed younger girls to show them other women doing amazing things, I as a woman in my 20’s loved reading it and learning about these people too. I appreciated the way in which it was written to inspire but doesn’t chastise people who don’t do such things, especially when mentioning disabled people as it can be such a varying spectrum. This can enable young disabled people to feel inspired without feeling disheartened if their condition prevents them from such achievements.

Favourite Quote:
"Sara always had to defend her right to do her job. Sometimes she wondered how much more she could have done if she didn’t have to fight all the time. She stands up for everyone’s right to have the career they want. Being a woman or being from Iran shouldn’t stop them. Just like it didn’t stop her."

As usual Rebel girls have made a nice little library. Over 100 short but extremely interesting stories about powerful women through history as well as modern times.
There are stories about women who create art, explore, dance, invent, love animals, make music, hp others, play sports...
Read about Frida Khalo, Beyonce, Harriet Tubman and many more amazing and inspiring women.

Love this and can't wait for next publications from Rebel girls

Rebel girls little library is an excellent collection of books dedicated to hard working women all around the globe who have significantly changed the world for the best. Either by their advocation of women's rights or their contribution to the art world, to science, to mother earth ect. This collection does a great job of providing easy to digest information about each and every single one of the amazing ladies presented in it. Great for younger and older women alike.

Rebel Girls Little Library reminds me of a collection of books 50 years ago that I used to read as autobiographies. Amelia Earhart was my favorite in the series and she is still in the series. I think children today would very much enjoy reading these stories. I would definitely enjoy share these stories with my three year old granddaughter.

This collection is a must-have for any elementary classroom library! The illustrations are perfect and the biographies are just the right length to engage students. I like that they are organized into similar categories such as artists. The women included are from diverse backgrounds which is what I am looking for as an educator.

This entry in the Rebel Girls collection includes 100 stories from previous Rebel Girls books retold for a younger audience. It includes 10 small hardcover books, each of which profiles 10 women. The collection represents activists, artists, athletes, dancers, explorers, inventors, and scientists. I love the diversity of women profiled.

Each profile features an illustrated portrait as well as a child-friendly true story about the woman’s life and work, like an inspirational bedtime story. Each portrait was illustrated by a different female artist, so the art styles varied. Some profiles include an image you can scan to hear expanded stories in audio. These are well narrated with fun music and sound effects, and I highly recommend listening.

This is an inspiring book for children and should be interesting for the adults sharing the stories too. I would have been thrilled to have books like these when I was a little girl.

Thanks to Rebel Girls for providing me with an ARC through NetGalley that I volunteered to review.

Together they tell the stories of Rebel Girls in history and today from all around the world. It is an encouragement for every young girl to stretch her wings and do good things wherever she may live and no matter the circumstances of her life.
Rebel Girls books are the best!
The illustrations continue to be delightful, imaginative, and colorful.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or public library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from Rebel Girls via NetGalley. Thank you!

Rebel Girls has published many titles with a goal empowering and opening the world to young girls. This time, they have published a collection of ten short books. The first of these is called 10 Women Who Create Art; featured here, for one example, is Frida Kahlo. The other nine equally well done books iare about women in music, sports, movies, and science, those who are explorers, animal lovers, inventors, helpers and the women who help to create art. Each featured woman has several pages which include both text and illustrations.

This book would make a wonderful addition to a school or home library. The short biographies may entice girls into learning even more about these fabulous people. They will also, hopefully, be encouraged to dream big in their ovn lives.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Rebel Girls for this title. All opinions are my own.

My kid loves these. Challenging but shirt stories and then we look the rebels up more. Fun, positive and engaging!

This will be a perfect addition to our class bookcase. My more reluctant readers will be able to dip in and out different sections of the books according to their interests. There is just enough text to interest and inform without overwhelming those just beginning to read more widely and independently. A fascinating mixture of women which I also enjoyed learning more about.

Rebel Girls have done it again. AGAIN.
Another book I want to scream from the rooftops about. Ok, not one book, but a set of tiny books.
100 short stories of women. Strong. Fierce. Powerful. Extraordinary. Yet relatable.
This book is pure power.
