Informative and well done, like the other books in the series. I'm looking forward to putting this one in my classroom so students can read about people they know, and learn about people they don't!

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.

This is an incredible set of biographies. Instead of the usual, seemingly unattainable stories of women making history (mostly celebrities, rich people, and pioneers), these are stories of young women who feel more like us than those we read in regular history books. It makes making change seem more possible, as these are people who are introduced in such a relatable way--and there are so many of them! I think many young people are going to find that they could make it into this sort of book too, that this will give them the confidence and perspective to see that great change is made by ordinary people and a great many ordinary people.
I also really appreciate that every page of art is by a different illustrator. It's another way of putting a spotlight on incredible people who are here gifting us their creativity. How truly inspiring!

I've seen this book series around and have been interested, but this is the first time I've been able to read a copy. My general reaction was: YES!
I love this. I love this concept. I love the idea of raising children with stories of real people who are strong, brave, creative, smart, and influential. I love the idea of children growing up knowing these stories and feeling that, hey, if these girls can do this, then maybe I can too! I strongly believe in the power of books and stories, and these are the kinds of stories that can change individuals so they can go on to change the world.
So to the overall concept of this series and this book: YES, YES, YES!
I like the format of the book a lot. The bright illustrations and colors make it feel fun and engaging, which will help draw the interest of younger children who still want books to look fun. I like how every illustration includes a quote from the highlighted person and a credit to the illustrator, allowing the page to highlight the talents and skills of all kinds of women and nonbinary artists. I love that the illustrators and writers all have bios.
I like that they highlight birthdays as well as key words to describe the person or what they work on such as "dyslexia," "transgender" or "immigrants" so that it is easy for readers to find stories that are from people like them or to learn about a specific topic.
The stories are short, only a few paragraphs, to highlight the person and their accomplishments without being overwhelming or potentially having someone lose interest. I also love the implementation of QR codes to that readers can hear longer stories of some of the people if they are interested.
Overall, I love this book and will now need to pick up the other books in the series. If I ever have children of my own, this will absolutely be a frequently visited book series.

The Rebel Girls books just keep getting better and better! Congratulaions to all the artists responsible for the illustrations. I probably say this in every review, but it's true, I want my niblings to read these books someday. There’s so much they can learn from these women. I love how they always mention people from all over the world, exploring different cultures, professions and generations, showing how we all must believe in our dreams and in ourselves.
And I especially love this one, because my fave Taylor Swift is part of it <3
Beautiful and inspiring.
* I received an ARC from Rebel Girls in exchange for an honest review.

I am so into all of the Rebel Girls books! I wish I had them growing up, but they make the perfect present for any young reader. This book is filled with female voices I’d never heard of as well as popular voices youth will be familiar with like Billie Eilish. Great illustrations and great writing. Many thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

** Thanks so much to NetGalley and Rebel Girls for this ARC. Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Inspiring Young Changemakers is out now! **
This was my favorite Rebel Girls book yet! I loved the diverse experiences of the girls and women featured here - scientists, activists, athletes, and musicians. I was inspired by this book and can't imagine how much it would have meant to me as a young girl. Highly recommended, especially for those with young girls!

Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Inspiring Young Changemakers is an excellent addition to the Rebel Girls book series. The book focuses on young women who are making a difference and changing the world in various fields, from sports to activism to art. What's great about this book is that it features girls from diverse backgrounds and cultures who are united in their goal of making the world a better place. The stories are concise, easy to read, and emotionally uplifting. Each story is paired with a full-page portrait created by young female and nonbinary artists, which adds to the charm and whimsy of the book.
The book is inspiring, and I believe it's a must-read for girls of all ages. The stories are educational and can be a great tool to encourage girls to dream big and follow their passions. The illustrations are beautiful and complement the text well.
