Thank you to Netgalley and Rebel Girls for the ARC of this!
Spectacular as always, I loved the illustrations and the stories were diverse and easy for my kids to follow and pay attention to. Speaking about one titular rebel girl : “she read a statistic that really bothered her: less than 1 percent of environmental professionals were people of color” I don’t know how much that has changed since a budding environmentalist read it, but I do know that this book definitely does not make that feel like the case. It was full of stories of Indigenous, Asian, Hispanic, and Black women all working towards saving the environment. I loved that I got to learn about new people (the only ones familiar to me were Wangari Maathai, Greta Thunberg, and Margaret Atwood). Recommend for anyone who’s been loving the rebel girls books and anyone who is interested in climate based activism.

Climate Actvists, Zoologists, Authors, Conservationists and more - Rebel Girls once again teach young girls that they can be anything, as long as they follow their passions!
The diversity of ages, nationalities, races and experiences makes Climate Warriors a solid edition to the Rebel Girls series.
This book tackles Climate Change in a way that will not scare off young readers, but instead give them the knowledge that they can become empowered leaders.
The interactive activities at the bag, such as sharing your story and 'draw your portrait' are fun engaging activities, along with nature inspired activities and small habit changes to make massive impacts - Truthfully, I feel this section has an equally as big an impact on young readers as the stories of empowered women, as it makes the reader feel involved, empowered and could possibly create habits which last life long!
The QR codes allowing further interaction, bringing certain women's stories into the digital space is always fun - and unlocks audio stories, too!
An all-round must have for young readers and schools; creating change and creating thought leaders.
Thank you, Rebel Girls & NetGalley for the Review E-copy of 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.

Thanks to the publisher via NetGalley for the eARC. This is another well crafted installation in the Rebel Girls series. The illustrations are beautiful and there’s been a real effort to include a diverse range of voices - it was especially nice to see the work of indigenous activists being given the credit it’s due. Fundamentally, this is more of a pamphlet than a book, but I reckon it could form a good basis for further research for kids aged 8-12.

My 3yo daughter and I absolutely love the Rebel Girls Series. Though she's a bit young to understand much of what we read, she absolutely loves seeing women of all ages, colours, sizes being bad@$$!! We very much amp up Girl Power in our house!! I was absolutely delighted to be selected to read the Climate Warriors edition, and will absolutely buy it when available to add a hardcopy to our growing Rebel Girls collection. The collection of narratives and the artwork did not disappoint, as per usual! Thank you to NetGalley and Rebel Girls for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

This is a great entry to this series. Like previous entries it has a great range of women and great information on them. This entry has added in scattered QR codes in order to find more information the different individuals. The main topic of this book is very important in this day and age. I would highly recommend this entry.
I would like to thank Rebel Girls for providing me with an ARC.

The Rebel Girls series of books are always phenomenal and work hard to highlight women in various aspects of work, sport, music etcetera and Rebel Girls Climate Warriors is no exception.
With bright illustrations and portraits of the various women who have achieved phenomenal success in this field, this is a book that will help educate and encourage children, and quite possibly adults to consider doing what they can to protect this planet and those that inhabit it.
Whilst they are promoted towards girls, I do think that this book and others in the series should be read by any child regardless of their gender, that education and insight are invaluable and the way these are done also means that they may not realise they are learning anything. Alongside the fantastic mini-biographies/stories about the twenty-five women, the reader will find that there are questions and activities for you to do alongside a QR code which will give you access to additional information which I think is invaluable,
Rebel Girls Climate Warriors is another book that should be found any child’s bookshelf like its predecessors and the entire series should be available at any educational facility.

An inspiring and diverse book about women who recognize the importance of conserving the environment. Beautifully illustrated and captivating for young rebel girls. I wish a book such as this would have existed when I was growing up.

Very inspiring collection of such a broad range of women who have tackled eco issues. I loved the STEM aspect and as always it’s filled with beautiful illustrations and fun activities. Without doubt a copy of this will be making its way on to my little girls bookcase when she’s a little older.

This book is another one of the Rebel book series that i have read and reviewed. As usual, this series so far does not disappoint me as the featured characters are just as 'fierce' and 'rebellious' as ever in fighting and promoting for the causes they strongly believed in and in bringing changes in society with their intelligent and bold ideas. Brava and kudos to them!.
My previous series was showcasing those 'rebellious' women athletes whilst this one is featuring 'rebellious' women in environmental protection and conservation, another causes that i strongly feel about and am interested in.
I am glad to find a number of diverse figures in this series which mostly are new and unfamiliar to me which is a good thing. However, they are a few familiar ones such as Greta Thunberg, Wangari Mathai, Rachel Carson and of course Margaret Atwood!.
I loved the activities suggestions at the back of the book and i feel inspired to be just as 'rebellious' and as bold as these remarkable women are someday by making the environment a better place by coming up with my own ideas of protecting the earth,especially with my bias which is the ocean.
So in short, this is a book i would recommend to anyone who cares and loves the earth and wants to protects it and making it a better place. Someone who is not afraid to stand up to fight and promote for causes they strongly believed in. Someone who is not afraid to be different and standout against the mainstream. Because she is 'Rebellious'.
