Rebel Girls

What a wonderful and inspiring collection of stories about strong mother-daughter relationships, all between well-known and, thankfully, lesser-known pairs of mothers and daughters. Powerful illustrations of the powerful pairs are shown in the book.

Strong company, cooperation, trust, and support are all present in these stories. We get to know something about the different projects they spent time on together. Standing for their rights, health aid, humanity, as well as dancing and photography, are all themes that are represented..

Aside from the stories, I especially like the part where you are encouraged to record your own story and portrait with your mother or another adult you like. There are inspiring questions about favorite activities, objects, characters, and memories, for example.

What a wonderful collection of so many inspiring women! The colourful illustrations of the women and their themes are ideal to keep young readers interested (and adults may also learn something new).

Women from different eras and topics are presented in 1-3 sentences. On point. It is very easy to understand for young children. Women, such as Cleopatra, Jane Austen, Amelia Earhart or Malala Yousafzai. But there are also women whose themes are environmental, musical, or scientific.

Small good thoughts to start the night with. Powerful!
