Thank you Netgalley and Rebel Girls for a review copy of this book.
The Rebel Girls series of stories is one of my favorites and this new one about Climate Warriors is another great read for yourself or to share with your young children.
I love how the stories are short enough for a bedtime story, but also give just enough information that leaves you wanting more, especially so you can look them up!
Another thing I loved with this book in particular is the end has some ideas on how to celebrate Nature and to Go Green so you can also be a Climate Warrior!

** Thanks so much to NetGalley and Rebel Girls for this ARC**
Rebel Girls Climate Warriors is out now!
Rebel Girls did a lovely job with this collection, as always. I loved learning more about some climate activists I knew well and about others I had never heard of. I appreciate the diversity of women featured, all of whom have made a difference in protecting the planet in their own way.

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 love reading about women making our world a better place! So many were unknown to me and the way they were portrayed and illustrated is beautiful. They all work in different fields that help our Earth!
I hope this book will inspire many other people to follow in their footsteps.
The book also ends with a couple tips how to improve your ecological footprint.
5 stars - I absolutely love this book and I will continue to strive to make Earth better with small actions that may not affect the world as much as this women's actions did but it makes me feel better if I can help little by little

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for an e-ARC for an exchange for an honest review.
I thought this was such a great Rebel Girls book. I always enjoy reading all of them. I like how they talk about all kinds of women and young girls who are helping to change the world. This one is about those who have a passion to help save the planet from climate change and to help the earth heal. To help save it from pollution and other ways it is harming the earth itself and the creatures and plants living in it.

utile et nécessaire, ce livre nous présente en allant droit au but mais avec assez de détails et d'informations 25 femmes formidables en rapports avec la lutte pour l'environnement. La diversité des femmes présentées est aussi très agréable.

I love this series!
We are transported through the stories of women scientists to different ecosystems and the animals living within them. We start with Amanda and Heather who are scuba diving studying seahorses that founded Project Seahorse with the aim to protect marine ecosystems. Then we follow Bella who managed to correspond with THE David Attenborough and ended up banning the use of animals in UK circuses. Next, we meet Bindi who was positively influenced by her nature-loving parents and wants to pass that love on in a detached from nature society.
Biruté's love for orangutans started by reading Curious George to finding herself reintroducing over 500 individuals back to the wild. Christina became an expert on hippos and got known for her dedication to a little hippo named Fiona. Corina and her love for birds inspired the Black birders initiative! Christina and her enamoured passion for capturing the beauty of the ocean with her camera, The ocean but sharks specifically due to their bad reputation additionally, inspired Eugenie to become an ichthyologist and break down some myths around the fear of sharks. Gillian with her view on nature is that there are so many stories to be told and narrated to the world. Then we have filmmaker Gunjan who would through high altitudes and jungles to capture the wildlife. We meet Hana who is determined to fight to preserve the nature of her country, Iraq despite all the difficulties she is facing. Of course, such a book could not exist without mentioning Jane and her work as a primatologist (working with apes and showing their connection to humans).
In the second half of the book, we meet Julie, a conservationist biologist and her love at first sight with a lemur when she was 13. You may know Kirsten Bell as a famous actress from Holywood but she is also one of the proponents of the 'Adopt, Don't shop' mantra. She absolutely is a dog person! Then we have Kristen and her love for bats whilst we learn that everything that shaped her career started as a Girl Scout project. So inspiring! Reptiles are not as loved as other cuter and fluffier species but that did not stop Laura from becoming a herpetologist and seeing their beauty reflected in her eyes. We then meet Leela, an expert in lions who tries to reintroduce this species that has become extinct in parts of the world such as Egypt where she is from. Another conservationist called Maria loves hard-scaled pangolins and other endangered species and speaks for them! We then continue with Olivia and her butterflies. She is a pollinator activist. How freaking cool is that of a job description???
In Nigeria, we meet Rachel, another conservationist, working mainly around the Niger Delta area. Saengduean is a person where basically animals go for retirement to live their last days on this Earth as well as animals that just need recovery from abuse, trauma and/or injury. Meet Sami a talented artist that brings beauty to any peculiar animal you may think of. Exhibit designer, Sue, recreates habits in zoos inspired by their homelands for the animals to feel more at home. Temple, an autistic woman, decided to take action and educate people about her condition as well as talk about how important it is to address farm animal welfare. Last but not least, we learn about Tolani, a veterinarian who has even founded an animal hospital to host both 2 and 4-legged creatures.
I cannot wait to teach my daughter about all these women through these books and inspire her to become one with nature. :) Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
