I loved the interesting stories. It was cool because it had stories about people I have heard of like Wangari Maathai and Greta Thunberg and some stories about people I have never heard of too.
An interesting book about women and girls who campaign on climate change themes.
Three examples of biographies in the book are on Greta Thunberg (Sweden), Mya-Rose Craig (UK) and Wangari Maathai (Africa).
It was non-fiction. I like Greta Thunberg’s passion and we all have a part to play in reducing climate change. I would recommend to my friends at school as it is an important topic.
Very good
it teaches us to protect the earth
We have all the Rebel Girls books at home and my daughter and I absolutely love 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.
