Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Tales of Extraordinary Women

My 8 year old daughter picked this up during a day out at the museum. It was a semi-random grab (could have been most anything in the gift shop). Then we sat down on a bench outside and REALLY took a good look. That's when we fell in love.We read this book at bed time.My daughter used the book to select her inventor for a school project where she studied, the dressed up and acted out being Grace Hopper.We bought the second book.And now we bought more copies of this book, as gifts for some of her friends' (8/9 birthdays, etc.)It's amazing how frequently we are watching a movie or such and my daughter will yell something like "Joan Jett/May Angelou/Ruth Bader Ginsberg...she's in my Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls book!"

Perfect for parents hoping to raise strong-minded kids. My daughter loved and was empowered by it, and my sons enjoyed just as much learning about some amazing women they hadnt heard about at school!

Beautiful and inspiring in content and images. Every child should have this book.

I love how it is easy to understand for my 7 year old and very interesting. The stories are only one page, so not too long and hold her attention very easily.

I absolutely love this. I started crying immediately when I randomly opened to a single page story about a bada** woman in history. I would have held this book so near and dear and clung to every word as a child. HowI wish I could have had it then, but I can already feel a little inner child healing having it now. Women are amazing and all kids should know it!

So many stories about exceptional women! They are only one page long so are great for bedtime stories. Quality book. My granddaughter loves it

Having my nine year old read a couple to me each night and she is really enjoying the content. There are so many varied and interesting examples from around the world that the entries have sparked a lot of good conversation.Having said that, there was one entry we skipped over as I think it is very inappropriate for my daughter (not to mention the even younger readers who according to these reviews are reading). The book draws from more of a leftest cast rather than highlighting some likely candidates who were pioneers or achieved greatly but perhaps not according to the current in vogue view of "correctness." This leads to some interesting choices: Hillary Clinton but not Condolezza Rice; Ruth Bader Ginzburg but not the first woman appointed to the Supreme Court Sandra Day O'connor; no mention of Golda Meir. In fairness, Margaret Thatcher has an entry but her paragraphs include a line that "she wanted to take school lunches away from kids." Really. Also, the business sector is largely ignored. There are a lot of women entrepreneurs and business leaders who would be great examples for girls in our (still!) market economy.All in all I am glad I bought it. However, the book could have been a broader example set had were it less biased.

My 5 year old daughter likes the stories, and one page each person makes it easier for her to read herself.I brought the book to our Daisy Girl Scout troop meeting where they earned a badge about being courageous and strong. We started by playing Bold Maid (which I also recommend). Someone asked who Amelia Earhart was. My daughter grabbed the book and started reading her page! Then another girl wanted to read a page out loud! And two other girls wanted the book themselves! This book was a big hit for 5-7 year olds!During the troop meeting, the book and Bold Maid game prompted conversations about what world leaders like Angela Merkel do and how did Helen Keller walk around school if she was blind and deaf. The girls shared personal stories of how they got back up on their bikes or skates when they fell, and joined a t-ball team even though they were nervous. The meeting was a big hit! The book is awesome!

Highly recommend this book for all girls. Such lovely stories that have impressed our daughter since she was 8. You could read it to little kids to inspire them.

Lettura eccellente per ragazzi. Istruttiva e piacevole

Better than the princess nonsense. This is the best thing ever. I use it when want to have light reading. Ita suoer as as i read it to my kids i educte myself too

I loved the leather-finishing cover, it's really beautiful. I bought it to my little sister to teach her a bit of English. It's been a great invest. The shipment was fast and secure, protected with a lot of air bubble sheet, that was a good detail from the supplier

Good book for every girl to read.
