Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls, Volume 1: 100 Tales of Extraordinary Women
by Francesca Cavallo, Elena Favilli, Rebel Girls
I read this over the course of the month at nap time and bedtime with my three year old. The illustrations are beautiful and I loved the variety of women included. While some of the stories were way beyond simplified, I get it. This is the gateway for little girls to learn more and more about these women as they get older and can better understand the complexity surrounding so many of the stories.
I really want to give this book five stars but I can't, for two reasons. 1) the title kind of defeats the purpose. It's for strong and courageous women, yes. But calling them rebels for being those things makes their actions seem out of the ordinary. 2) the idea that this book has to or should replace princess stories. Not going to happen in this house. My daughter loves princesses, especially Merida. Her current life plan is to be a princess dumpy truck driver architect. This book and princess books can peacefully co-exist.
