Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls (New Edition)

This book is very special, and with the foiled cover and silver edges, it truly is a beautiful book. The original book is a modern classic and a staple for many classrooms and children’s bookshelves and now it is nearing the 10th anniversary of its first release, the revised addition includes 22 new stories of women to celebrate including the scientist Katalin Karikó who made the development of a COVID-19 vaccine possible, Mikawla Shiffrin an alpine skier, activist Greta Thunberg, the mega star Taylor Swift and the acclaimed author Judy Blume.

It is a book that you can dip into and learn about the achievements and talents of women around the world. Each page begins with ‘Once upon a time’ or other story openings as if you were sharing a fairy tale, but it is a wonderful story about inspirational women. There are more than 80 female artists from all over the world who created the portraits of each woman in the book.

There is a lovely section at the back of the book for you to ‘Write your story’ and ‘Draw your portrait’ so that you can be part of the book. For those who enjoy timelines, starting from 1479 BCE and finishing in 2024, you can see where the women changed history. An inspirational text that will inspire generations to come.
