“The women in this book started out just like you. They were kids who had dreams and fears, hopes and questions. They were full of curiosity and a desire to make a difference. They faced challenges, and they kept going.”

An incredibly powerful foreword to an equally powerful book. This was the first Rebel Girls book I have read and it did not disappoint. Featuring inspirational women from all different walks of life, Rebel Girls Lead is a vibrant and powerful read. One cannot fail to be uplifted by the stories of personal and professional triumph encapsulated within its pages.

There were many things I loved about this book. Firstly, there is an incredibly diverse range of women featured: diverse in ethnicity, diverse in background and diverse in profession. The short biographies are child-friendly and accessible. The illustrations are breath-taking, each one created by a different female illustrator, offering a range of styles and colour palettes to suit the person profiled. The book is interactive with a quiz at the end and space for children to write their own story.

This book has a place on every classroom bookshelf and I very much look forward to adding it to mine. Thank you to NetGalley for affording me the opportunity to read this inspirational, motivational and educational piece of literature.

When will there ever be a Rebel Girls book for which I don't write the feedback as "fantastic"? Never!!!

I have read and loved the first three volumes of the Rebel Girls series and this special edition continues in the same format. The book informs little ones about 25 extraordinary leaders who had humble beginnings and worked hard to make their dreams come true. While some of the names are historical and some have been included in the earlier books, there are eleven noteworthy new names added in this edition. I was especially happy to see the inclusion of Jacinda Ardern and Kamala Harris in the Rebel family.

As always, a wonderful read and a worthy addition to your little one's library.

I love this book and believe it is perfect for any young teen. It provides the story of successful females that empowers the young mind. It includes activities that the teens can do to see what kind of activist they are. Also there is a page for the teen to add themselves to the book and write a short description about themselves. Overall I think this is a perfect gift for any teen to help motivate them to dream bigger.

A great compilation of real-life stories from inspiring women including Ali Raisman, Harriet Tubman, Jacinda Ardern, Kamala Harris, Lady Gaga, Malala Yousafzai, Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Pat Summit, Xiye Bastida and more.

From sport personalities to activists, lawyers, business women and government leaders, this book features a list of inspirational role models for young girls and boys too. While some of the stories are duplications from the first three volumes of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls, it is a worthwhile read for those who may be new to the Rebel Girls series.

The book is written in an engaging way, and features stunning illustrations with a quiz section and a little page for children to write their own stories. Thank you to NetGalley for the review copy.
