Narration As Books Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Tales of Extraordinary Women (Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls #1)
If I could give this more stars, I would. Yes, I know the title indicates this book is for rebel girls. I am a mother of two fairly rebellious boys - but felt it was every bit as relevant for them as it was for females! After all, why shouldn't boys read about fabulous, inspirational women too? This book is an absolute thing of beauty - 100 accessible, creatively written tales of women who helped to shape the world we live in. The illustrations are superb, and it hits just the right note with my two kids (5 and 7). They were initially suspicious that it was going to be one of those 'educational' books, but a few stories in and they were hooked. People with boys, don't be deterred from buying this book, simply because the title indicates a female bias. It's so important that we start recognising the achievement of women (past and present) because they've so often been ignored - and both girls and boys can benefit from this. Also - a word of warning, grown-ups are likely to get a bit hooked on it too. :-)Point Books In Favor Of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Tales of Extraordinary Women (Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls #1)

Loved it.I was so excited to read this! What an inspiring little book it is!I did love how straight to the point this book was. It absolutely inspired me to research some of the women who really inspired or interested me, but I do wish that we focused on each woman a little bit more, maybe resulting in less women in the book, but carried on into the sequel. This was because in a few cases I felt like I was lacking the weight of their achievement because it didn't have a load of context. Its

What a phenomenal book. Honestly, I expected this to be somewhat gimmicky - I'm a passionate feminist, and a lot of these types of girl power books/projects are - but I was sort of bowled over by my how emotional my reaction was to the acknowledgement of these extraordinary women from all over the world pursuing all different paths. If you've considered reading this but have been hesitant for some reason, I'd say it's more than worth it.
This is a seriously cool book. It's the brain-child of two women (I use the word "women" lightly; they each look about 17 on the website) who run the "Timbuktu Labs," which is described as a "children's media innovation lab," which may or may not be a non-profit. I'm thinking not. Their website did not help me confirm or deny.I'd feel better about the whole thing if it WERE a non-profit, because, frankly, the book is pricey and I have a few complaints about it, but for now I want to get back to
