These little books are great for homeschooling!! I especially like the Women who Explore and Women who Invent books. They had such great info and were the perfect length that my kids didn't get overwhelmed. If you want to add a few stories of strong women to your homeschool or storytime in general I highly suggest this book. I will be getting more for sure. My daughter like the books Women who Love Animals and Women who Dance the most.

Thank you to the author and NetGalley for the ARCs of these books

My girls and I were delighted to receive an ARC of Rebel Girls Little library. We are huge fans of the Rebel Girls books and these did not disappoint. My 7 year old loves art so greatly enjoyed the 10 women who create art book . Personally I loved the 10 women who helped others and found that I learned lots through reading the stories too. I think we will need to buy the hardcopy. Highly recommended.

The Rebel Girls Little Library is a fantastic and engaging way to get young readers to learn information about key female figures of the world. This book set will teach your child biographies of important woman in our world.. They are easy enough to understand, but not simple enough to be boring.

We are a homeschooling family, so we use this to supplement our History studies. Prompting a child's curiosity authentically isn't always easily done. After reading these books my kids chose to independently learn about many of the figures in this book. It made my children curious to learn more which is one reason why I would recommend these books to anyone with younger children.

I would recommend this book set for children aged 4-10. I know it says Rebel Girls in the title, but it is great for boys as well. They need to learn stories of strong women just as much as girls do.

La raccolta è composta da dieci libri più piccini, uno per categoria (artiste, musiciste, attiviste, scienziate, ecc), e ognuno contenente dieci biografie, scritte in maniera comprensibile a tutte le età.
Molto carino e, in effetti, molto attuale la presenza di qr codes che portano i lettori a scoprire altre informazioni online.

Grazie NetGalley per l'incredibile opportunità.

I bought this for my library and they have been so popular! A fantastic array of stories about wonderful, historic women. If you're looking for ways to bulk up and diversify your non-fiction section, get this.

Great short biographies about figures of interest. I think these are perfect for teaching older kids and young teens English as a foreign language and they tie in with other curriculum subjects like science, geography and other topics like the environment.

Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me read an advance copy of this book in exchange for my review.

Rebel Girls Little Library – 100 Tales of Dreamers and Doers

👩‍⚕️This is a fantastic collection of stories about amazing women all around the world.

👩‍🔬There are ten books in this set and each book covers a different topic. The topics are:

- 10 Women Who Dance
- 10 Women Who Make Music
- 10 Women Who Play Sports
- 10 Women Who Make Movies
- 10 Women Who Love Science
- 10 Women Who Explore
- 10 Women Who Love Animals
- 10 Women Who Invent
- 10 Women Who Help Others
- 10 Women Who Create Art

👩‍🏫 Each woman has 4 pages in these books. The first page includes an illustrated image of the woman along with her birth/death date, where she is/was from and what she does/did. The next three pages includes a short bio of the woman and her accomplishments.

👩‍🎨You’ll recognize some of these women – Florence Nightingale, Harriet Tubman, Frida Kahlo, Ada Lovelace, Marie Curie, Zendaya, Taylor Swift – but many of them you probably won’t know about already. I wasn’t familiar with many of these women, so I learned something by reading these wonderful books.

👩‍🚀I recommend this for all middle grade readers – girls and boys. This would be a fantastic classroom resource, too.

Thank you @netgalley and Rebel Girls for an eArc of these books, which I have read and reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

What a fantastic collection of books we're given here. I have a young daughter, and I'd heard about this series from Michelle Schusterman's YouTube videos. So glad we checked it out. We've gone through a couple of the books, and I know my daughter will treasure this collection for years to come.
