Rebel Girls Climate Warriors: 25 Tales of Women Who Protect The Earth by Rebel Girls

'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
