'Rebel Girls: Climate Warriors' discusses people, specifically women, who have made a difference in the fight against climate change. This book tells you about these people, giving you some beautiful illustrations alongside the description, as well as some fun activities (for you or your children) to do.
I really enjoyed reading this book. The illustrations were beautiful and I liked how for each person they focused on, they matched their background to the illustrations. Which doesn't seem like a lot, but it really helped emphasised who the person is, their story, and how they helped fight climate change.
I would personally give this book either as a gift to my younger cousins or to my future nieces and nephews. If used within a classroom setting, I, like a lot of teachers, wouldn't waste money on buying this book, and would instead make a PowerPoint or create a research activity for the pupils to do instead, which may even be more productive in an educational setting. Due to the difference in the stories this book I would use for ages between 4-12.
Personally, I liked how a lot of the individual stories were from activists who started their journeys when they were children, which could inspire pupils to start their own environmentalist ideas as they now know if other children can do it, why can't they?
I love the fact that 'Rebel Girls' centres around women supporting women to save our environment. That fact the the majority of the illustrators are young women from ethnically diverse backgrounds is something that I'd like to see a lot more of.
Thank you to netgallery for sending me this book, it was a real eye-opener

Climate Warriors will definitely inspire the new generation to actively preserve nature and fight climate change. The tales show various way how these woman protected the earth. From beehive fences to staying for two years high in redwood tree. There are so many ways we can preserve our Earth.

It is a very topical book, inspiring, everyone has to do their bit no matter how small, one day it might be that big thing that fight climate change. As with the previous 2 books from Rebel Girls, it has QR code on certain pages for audio accompaniment. It also has some activities to be done with family/friends to raise awareness of nature and climate change.
The only negative I noticed was that some stories they don’t actually mention the specific company/product/event/book that were involved or written about, I wonder if it is a legality issue. I guess it can be solved hopefully by a quick search on Ecosia.
All in all I’ll definitely get my hands on this physical book when my children come to an age suitable for it.
Many thanks Rebel Girls for this advanced review copy.

WOW! I really enjoyed this book a lot. The subject matter of women and climate warriors was very inspiring. It was full of powerful words. This is exactly what a young girl needs to read about other women. I also loved the colorful pictures throughout the book. The bios were not "cookie cutter" ones. They were unique and told their story. It kept me reading! I also enjoyed the ending. You have a spot to write your own story as well as tips on how you can make the world better. I was first attracted to the book because of the cover art. But I kept reading for the content. Additionally, the writing was great! They picked a lot of great and inspiring stories to put through the book too.

<i> Rebel Girls Climate Warriors: 25 Tales of Women Who Protect the Earth</i> tells the stories of some people you are likely to know, such as Rachel Carlson and Greta Thunberg, as well as many women I was not familiar with. It was encouraging to read these stories of women who are doing so much to protect our planet. Each girl in the collection is given a one page biography detailing her work to save the planet, with a drawing of the girl on the opposite page. As with all the Rebel Girl books, there are activities included at the end for girls to do. The biographies are all well written and at an appropriate age level for younger girls to understand, while still being interesting to adults reading the stories. My favorite fact I learned from this collection was “that underwater kelp keeps 20 times more carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere than land forests.” I highly recommend this book to people of all ages interested in reading about ways people are protecting the planet.
Many thanks to NetGalley for providing me an ARC of this 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!!

Thank you to Netgalley and Rebel Girls for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review!
There hasn't been a Rebel Girls installment I haven't adored! Every time I pick up a Rebel Girls book I learn a ton about epic women from all around the world that I hadn't known about. I was especially excited for this installment as climate change, wildlife, and water conservation have been topics I have been very passionate about since I was a young girl. While I recognized some of these amazing women, there were a lot more that I learned so much about. I loved the scan options in the book to learn more, too! I thought it was a great interactive tool to not only offer more information but also advocate for continued research, which was something I always encouraged from my students when I was a classroom teacher! I always recommend these books but I especially recommend this installment as it's a topic close to my heart.

La serie delle bambine ribelli è sempre carina da leggere con le nuove generazioni a fianco come storia della buona notte che però ti insegna il valore delle donne e quanto sia importante combattere per i propri ideali e i propri sogni. Questo volume in particolare parla di ecofemminismo da differenti punti di vista attraverso la voce di attiviste, scienziate ed artiste.

I love reading the Rebel Girls series. Not much more to it.
I love reading the Rebel Girls series. Not much more to it.
This collection was full of powerful girls and women who have made or are currently making an impact in the climate conversation. From the 1800s to the present day and from activists to conservationists, girls have been making a loud and productive contribution to climate topics.
I love the way the Rebel Girls books create easy to comprehend biographies of amazing women in different categories. These collections are great to recommend to juvenile readers looking to learn more about powerful and impactful girls as well as those who are interested in nonfiction reading but don’t know where to start.
I will always recommend Rebel Girls and can’t wait to read more collections in the future!
