Whats not to love about this series?! Particularly when you are highlighting feminine power and those specifically who fighting for our climate. Nothing new in the format or approach to these books so can only add these are a great way to get your children involved and interested in the climate and our world

Wonderful collection of women’s biographies! I really liked the inclusion of indigenous activists and found their stories particularly well written and informative. I liked the inclusion of the worksheets at the end of the book where girls can write their own bio and get ideas for how they can positively impact the environment.

What a great way to celebrate the girl and women power working for climate justice. From activists and environmentalists to scientists and journalists, inspire young people with exciting stories about important ways to make a difference by helping creation heal and thrive.

Beautiful illustrations and a great introduction to some trailblazers.

Many of the girls mentioned are not who we hear about in main stream media, but they too have epic tales to tell.

Me and my girls really enjoyed this book, the illustration were fabulous.

Great book about girls, women and young women working towards climate change and climate change's effects. The book includes lovely illustrations and has women from all over the world featured. I did feel that some diversity was lacking but overall it was a good book.

Rebel Girls Climate Warriors is a guidebook to environmentalism, encouraging future activists and world changers to take steps to protect the planet.

Like the other Rebel Girls books, Rebel Girls Climate Warriors focuses on ordinary girls and women who have achieve extraordinary things. Clear, simple, and inspiring, each page introduces a new climate leader and their efforts to preserve our planet. Women and girls young and old have the power to make a difference!

As readers learn about environmental initiatives and the women who lead them, we are encouraged to consider our own eco responsibilities. No effort to protect the environment is too small. This book gives us reason to believe in our capacity to create change.

Rebel Girls Climate Warriors is a fantastic non-fiction book for readers young and old. It's perfect for aspiring environmentalists and everyday girls and women who want to be part of the solution.

I'm yet to be disappointed by a Rebe Girl book. This is an incredible collection of 25 inspiring stories of climate activists from around the world. The book has a diverse collection of stories, from China to Ecuador. There is also a variety of professionals like scientists, politicians, author, etc, ranging from young teen girls to women from the past. The artwork is jaw-droppingly beautiful as always and is done by female artists from various parts of the globe.

I think that the publisher's blurb covers the basics very well. I can only add that the illustrations are colorful and right on target as are the choices of those who are working to save our planet. This is important! Get one for home and another for the local library!

We have all the Rebel Girls books at home and my 9yo daughter absolutely loves them and this book is no exception! The fabulous illustrations are, as usual, absolutely stunning and there is a superb choice of women in the book, covering a range of climate issues and their work. This is informative and inspiring and shows young girls just how important their voices are. This is a book my daughter will love but I would also buy this book and gift it to her class library. I will also be recommending it to my school librarian. A book to come back to time and time again.

Such a cute book to have in a classroom library- so many ways it can be used! Nonfiction unit, science, research projects!

WOW! I really enjoyed this book a lot. The subject matter of women and climate warriors was very inspiring. It was full of powerful words. This is exactly what a young girl needs to read about other women. I also loved the colorful pictures throughout the book. The bios were not "cookie cutter" ones. They were unique and told their story. It kept me reading! I also enjoyed the ending. You have a spot to write your own story as well as tips on how you can make the world better. I was first attracted to the book because of the cover art. But I kept reading for the content. Additionally, the writing was great! They picked a lot of great and inspiring stories to put through the book too.

The illustrations in this book are wonderful. Reading this with children is a fun experience and opens up topics of conversation. It will be fun to do more research about the people whom the kids became interested in.

Another amazing addition to the Rebel Girls series!
I read this with my eldest 2 daughters (age 9 and 6) who are both currently learning about the environment at school. As a Mum of all girls we love to find and read new books that represent strong and inspiring women and this book does just that! The illustrations are beautiful and the inspirational stories short and sweet which helped to keep my girl's focused and engaged.

There are also additional resources at the back of the book including activities and QR codes which encourage children to look at ways that they themselves can help the environment which I thought was a nice added touch.

This is definitely one I will be buying for the bookshelf.

Thank you to Rebel Girl's and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I read Rebel Girls: Climate Warriors in one sitting. I kept telling myself I'd just read 'one more' story... but they're a lot like potato chips. You enjoy each one so much you keep reaching for another bite.

25 inspiring women are featured, each with a short biography and artwork depicting them. They are all standout Rebels who have helped the environment and the fight against climate change.

Some of the Rebels lived long, long ago - others ae fighting for change right now. These are women that young girls can identify with, and should open the eyes of many young boys, too. They come from a variety of nations, and are wonderfully diverse. I very much hope that this book, along with others in the Rebel Girls series, are on the bookshelves of many classrooms.

My thanks to the Rebel Girls and NetGalley for allowing me to read a digital advance review copy of this book. This review is my honest and unbiased opinion.

I appreciated the very diverse mix of women represented in this collection! The illustrations are lovely and the short descriptions of each climate warrior is brief, informative, and engaging. A good balance of historical and current figures, all connected by their activism in caring for our planet. A current, important, topical read for any girl (or boy!)

This is such an important and inspiring book! 25 women are featured who, each in their own way, do important things to protect the planet. There are "famous" women, like Margaret Atwood, Greta Thunberg and Bernice Nooteboom, and also lesser known women who've done great things. I loved the portraits, the art style (so nice and colourful!) and the diversity. This is a book I wish existed when I was a young girl. I'm glad I've read it and I need to check out more of the Rebel Girl series for sure!

My daughter absolutely loves this book.
In school she has been learning about being an 'eco warrior' and has been reading this pretty much everyday since we received it.
She is understanding more about ways she can help the environment through the stories within this book.

I've read all the Rebel Girl books and loved them, including this one. Climate Warriors is a great new addition to the series.
I wasn't familiar with all the women featured in Climate Warriors, so I was really excited to learn more about them. My favourite thing about these books is how diverse and inclusive they are, and this one was no exception.
Climate Warriors features 25 inspirational and influential women from all over the world, who are fighting for climate justice and doing their best to protect our planet in their own inventive way.
There's a page with information and a story for each activist, and a page beside it with a gorgeous illustration of them. They've also added a bonus feature with QR codes you can scan for additional information in audio form. It's perfect for those who want to learn more about each warrior.
It's an informative book with an important message, and it's perfect for children of all ages, and adults.

Thank you to NetGalley and Rebel Girls for providing me with a digital ARC of this book in exchange for my review.

I read this one with my nearly 10 year son & we both enjoyed it immensely. I loved how each inspiring young woman had a whole page spread to herself and was accompanied by a gorgeous illustration of them. I loved that a page is left with space for a child to draw themselves & write their own story, and its fantastic how there are pages talking about how to be greener in simple ways, with fun activities on how to celebrate & love nature. A gorgeous book from start to finish. Definitely one that should be available to everyone. 5 out of 5 stars from myself and my son.

This is an important book that every school library should have. Each page tells the story of a girl climate warrior and what they have done to protect the planet with a beautiful colour portrait illustrated by a female artist. These inspiring women come from all over the world and their activities include filmmaking to show the effects of climate change in the Arctic regions, inventing a bioplastic to replace plastic, and preventing areas of the rainforest from being cut down. Many of these warriors are not well known; there is a bonus feature where a QR code can take you to a longer audio story about some of these women. The activities page at the end of the book is a useful resource for teachers to use with their students. This is a very readable book suitable for middle school onwards; it would be good for a teacher to read aloud or for students to read. Thank you Netgalley.com for access to an inspirational book.
