Rendition Concering 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. :-)

A wonderful book full of gorgeous illustrations which are very life-like. Each story begins with 'Once there was...' which immediately pulls you into the tales and summarises what each woman is famous for (her contribution to the wider world). Some stories are heart-wrenching, others are horrific, and others are uplifting. All of the tales are inspiring and empowering! A perfect book for young girls to read and savour before they go to bed - if you put your mind to it, you can do anything :)Ordered this book through Kickstarter. Meant to give it to one of my nieces, but I loved it too much to give away :) This is the book I wished I had owned when I was a young girl. An amazing book of stories all about successful women. I love that the book is global - women come from all cultures and nations. The book is in English (I think it's available in many languages) for me, but the stories represent such a range of experiences. My only criticism is that some of the stories don't have
"It is important that girls understand the obstacles that lie in front of them. It is just as important that they know these obstacles are not insurmountable. That not only can they find a way to overcome them, but that they can remove those obstacles for those who will come after them."What an amazing project! This book features 100 stories about revolutionary, smart, strong, powerful, charismatic, talented and fearless women and girls throughout history. Pirate Queens and Marine Biologists,
The subtitle of this collection is 100 Tales of Extraordinary Women, and it is beautifully done.

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 are
