Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Real-Life Tales of Black Girl Magic by Jestine Ware, CaShawn Thompson, Diana Odero, Lilly Workneh, Sonja Thomas
5.0
We all know the Rebel Girl format by now, so I won't waste time describing it here. This follows the normal pattern; a page per person, with a full page illustration. There are just over sixty illustrators for the hundred Black women and girls featured in the book.
As with all the Rebel Girl books, there are a lot of people here I didn't know about before. I really enjoyed reading all these new stories. Some of them are a bit upsetting; some are funny, some are heartfelt. All are inspiring.
I loved looking at the illustrations, as well. The variety of styles means they're never boring; I didn't skim over any because they looked similar to the last one, I studied each one. I'd like to spend longer looking at it once I get a physical copy.
I can't wait to share this with the readers in store; it's a great addition to the series, and hopefully will bring in some new readers who haven't tried the series before. I can't wait to see what Rebel Girls will do next; they're going from strength to strength.
