Rebel Girls Climate Warriors: 25 Tales of Environmental Allies by Rebel Girls

hopeful informative inspiring fast-paced

5.0

<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.
