I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Rebel Girls Climate Warriors is another fabulous installment to the rebel Girls series! These books continue to get better and better with more and more interesting and diverse women to pay homage to and learn about! I cannot get bored of this series and love each and every book I've read so far in this series.
Not only are these such important books for females to read today, but they are interesting, informative and insightful to the world around us, things that need to change and have been changed and inspiring the future generation of females to continue to do so!
These books need to be available in all school library's, public library's and even classrooms!!

Having read almost every single book published by the Rebel Girls team, I have run out of new things to say on their book reviews. But let me make one thing clear: this book is among their best releases so far, at least the top three if not the numero uno!

This collection has inspirational stories of twenty-five female “climate warriors” from around the world. I hadn’t heard of anyone here except for Greta Thunberg, Wangari Maathai and Margaret Atwood. (Yup, I was surprised too to see that last name.) Each of these girls/women has attempted to make a difference in a world that seems to no longer care for nature. They are courageous and inspiring, both qualities being much needed in today’s apathetic ocean of humanity. I was especially happy to see Purnima Devi Barman being included in the line-up.

The foreword by Cristina Mittermeier of SeaLegacy is wonderful. Towards the end of the book, there are small tips on how we can make a difference to ensure a better world for us and everyone else.

In the last two Rebel Girls books, I wasn’t very happy with the illustrations. This book gets it right once again, and how! The sketches of the women are as usual drawn by female visual artists from around the world. But what surprised me was to see that a couple of them were as young as 7 and 9! What talent!

I don’t need to say anything more. It’s Rebel Girls. It’s for a cleaner environment. It’s for a brighter future. It’s a must-read.

5 shiny stars.

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.

[Irina R. · Rating 5 out of 5]

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'.

This incredible book tells the story of 25 incredible women who are protecting our planet as best they can, while encouraging and inspiring so many others to do the same. I love that this book includes a vast selection of warrior women like Margaret Atwood, Great Thunberg, Bernice Notenboom, Nemonte Nenquimo, Isatou Ceesay, and many more! We get a page on each woman with some of them giving a QR code so that we can learn more. Each woman gets their story told like a fairytale adventure that’s sure to capivate any child’s imagination, adults too! Definitely recommend giving this one a read.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this one in exchange for my honest review,.

Thank you to the publishers for allowing me to review Rebel Girls Climate Warriors!

It is so important in this ever-changing world that younger readers are introduced to and feel inspired by those who take an active stance towards campaigning for climate justice and wanting to make the planet a better place to live. Some of the women included are Greta Thunberg who transformed the strike for climate marches into a global movement and the McEwan sisters who successfully started a campaign to ban plastic toys from the popular fast-food chains which were often added to happy meals and kids menus. The illustrations were beautiful throughout and with an easy to read format, this diverse collection of women will surely appeal to many worldwide.

Thank you, Rebel Girls Inc., for the advance reading copy.

This book is so damn important for me. I am someone who roots for anything that would make the environment a better place; anything that improves the suffering natural greens environment.

Let's learn what we can do the most or the least in this drive. No matter how old or how young we are, let's know more and be aware about what these amazing women and girls are doing for this.

Such an amazing, inspirational collection.

And yes, I am obsessed with the Rebel Girls series. As always!

I received an eARC copy from Rebel Girls via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Modern times bring modern difficulties to deal with; climate change is a mammoth issue people face nowadays. It threatens people from multiple fronts: extreme heat, newly developed and restored diseases, water pollution, air pollution, food and water scarcity, increased flooding, economic loss; the list goes on.

"If it was easy to solve the climate crisis, we would have solved it already. We've got a lot of work to do, and we need everyone involved."
- Danni Washington

"There are infinitely possible futures, and which one we get will depend on the decisions we make now."
- Margaret Atwood

With this sequel, Rebel Girls are not only praising the women who dedicated their lives to protect the Earth but have sent an open call to all of us, young and old, to take action and contribute towards the betterment of our surroundings. Any contribution, any means of help, would mean a lot to the soil, air, water, and eventually - people. Environmental protection and conservation are the most important topics today, teaching us to protect nature as individuals, organisations and governments. These fierce women, described in this sequel, showed us how starting small in our communities could end up loud enough for the world to see and respond.

The QR-codes scattered throughout the book offer more information, bringing an extra point towards our engagement for a better and cleaner world.

The book's title created a short-term confusion - while the title on the book's cover is Rebel Girls Climate Warriors: 25 Tales of Environmental Allies, it is listed under Rebel Girls Climate Warriors: 25 Tales of Women Who Protect the Earth; at first, I thought I received a wrong ebook. Nevertheless, this educational book is a huge reminder that we still have a chance to help our home.

Once again, Rebel Girls has a winner of a book. This time Rebel Girls has turned the focus onto 25 “women who protect the earth.’ You may have heard of some of them: Greta Thunberg and Rachel Carson, for example. But many of these women will be new to you and your young reader. Women from many different countries are profiled, each one getting a one-page short bio and a lovely illustration (all illustrations are by female artists). Some of the new-to-me women include Angelina Arora (Australia), Danni Washington (USA), sisters Ella and Caitlin McEwan (UK), Isatou Ceesay (The Gambia), and Lucie Pinson (France).

Thank you to NetGalley and Rebel Girls for the opportunity to read an advance readers copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

This is such an important and inspiring book! 25 women are featured who, each in their own way, do important things to protect the planet. There are "famous" women, like Margaret Atwood, Greta Thunberg and Bernice Nooteboom, and also lesser known women who've done great things. I loved the portraits, the art style (so nice and colourful!) and the diversity. This is a book I wish existed when I was a young girl. I'm glad I've read it and I need to check out more of the Rebel Girl series for sure!

Thank you to the publisher for an ARC via NetGalley. These are my honest opinions.

[Whitney · Rating 4 out of 5]

**Thank you to Netgalley and Rebel Girls for the eARC in exchange for an honest review. This in no way changed my rating**

The first time I read this series was the last entry, which was the Black Girl Magic edition of Rebel Girls. Since reading it, I have recommended this series at my library job multiple times, so I was excited to see a new one was coming! Once again, very high quality content from this series.

This edition features 25 women who in some way have influenced Climate Change. To start with, I was SUPER impressed that 15/25 of the women featured were BIPOC. That means almost 60% of the women featured were BIPOC and I'm very excited for young girls, but especially girls of color, to see themselves in roles where they can impact the environment. I also learned new things from this title. Did you know that underwater kelp keeps 20x more carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere than land forests? This was new information to me! So even adults can learn from this book.

I will be honest in saying I think some of them do or did more than others. I'm still a little unclear on Margaret Atwood's inclusion. I don't know what series they're referencing that she's known for. I think she's MOST known for The Handmaid's Tale, which isn't about climate change or the environment. I also am a little on the fence about the impact of Jamie Margolin and Zero Hour. The book says they marched to ask the U.S. government to "stop giving money to the fossil fuel industry or accepting donations from businesses that are destroying the planet." (unfinished ARC copy, page 26). As far as I can tell, this has not happened, at least not in the U.S. Many politicians still accept large donations from and lobby for the interests of oil and coal companies, as well as try to strip the government agencies that work for environmental protection of key powers that allow it to make our earth greener and sustainable. While it's great she got a lot of kids to care about the environment, their site doesn't look like they've really done anything since 2018? I'm just very confused about what the actual impact was.

That said, I think there are many environmentalists people may not have heard of before that have made significant changes, such as Kotchakorn Voraakhom, who designed a park that collected rain water for city use and helped her city to live with floods. Kristal Ambrose was another one I enjoyed, who helped to create a bill that would ban the use of single-use plastics in her home country and got it passed. Nemonte Nenquimo, Lucy King, Danni Washington, Autumn Peltier, and Angelina Arora were other bios that I enjoyed. There is a large amount of impact between these women and a vast array of different ways they've helped.

The last thing I'd add is that the book ends with activities or ways that kids can be more green. While I think this is important and I also do many of these things personally, such as carrying a backpack, eating leftovers, and using a reusable water bottle, I also know that the personal efforts we carry out over our lifetime are wiped out in a few seconds by bored and selfish billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk with their ridiculous space race. I understand why they don't include that in the book because it's disheartening and might make some kids ask "so why bother", but I think it makes it a little disingenuous to suggest if EVERYONE does their part, that will negate it and also robs children of the chance to try different avenues of change by lobbying for wealth reform or trying to get these billionaires to commit to greener efforts through their businesses and personal hobbies. It's going to take a lot more than a reusable water bottle, unfortunately.

That said, I think this is a great addition to the series and will likely inspire a new generation of marine biologists, scientists, activists, fashion designers, environmentalists, and more. I will definitely recommend this title to children in the library or to friends of mine who are parents.

It’s almost bedtime and your daughter asks you to tell her a good night story. Now, you start to think… there’s Cinderella, Aurora, Whitesnow, so many princesses and you should pick up some of them, right?
Well… there’s another option: you could tell her about so many women -REAL women- that have done so much in a world that just wanted them to be quiet, cute and smile.
Rebel girls’ book series is the best choice to start with!

After reading a couple of years ago “Goodnight stories for rebel girls” and LOVING IT SO MUCH, I’ve decided to pick up this book.
Actually I didn’t know that there was an entire book series but now i’ll just dive through it.

SO this book was really great.
For every couple of pages there’s the story about a rebel woman that made hers for climate change battle and an illustration that makes us know not only her name but also her face. To me it was like knowing all of them for real, like they were all my new sisters out there in the world fighting for the same purpose⭐️

Pros:
1. this book actually let you know that there is a bunch of women out there that deserves so much and has done so much that just thinking that women can’t do anything in this world isn’t an option anymore.
2. there are women well known but also women that maybe you wouldn’t ever listen about if there wasn’t for this book. Ok, we all know Greta but she’s not alone and she shouldn’t!
3. illustrations are SO GREAT
Cons:
1. You can’t really enjoy it if you want to read it all in once. I think that’s a book you should dilute over time. Enjoy it as you go day after day.
2. The title is impactful and I really loved it but… I started to think that’s not a book just for girls. I think that’s a book for everyone out there and maybe “Rebel GIRLS” cuts out possible young readers that could enjoy it.

Shortly, read this book, love it and recommend it to someone you know, especially those that think that women can’t do something impactful because I assure you they can and they’re already doing it!!!

Many thanks to the authors, the publisher and Netgalley for the eARC!💘

Another great addition to the Rebel Girls series!

Going into this book, I only recognized the names of Greta Thunberg and Margaret Atwood, so I was happy to learn about more incredible women. From activists to environmentalists, and so many things in between, the newest edition of Rebel Girls features 25 inspirational women of varying backgrounds that have made an impact when it comes to the environment. I like to mention in my reviews of Rebel Girls books that the writers take such great care to feature women and girls from an around the world who have different races, ethnicities, ages, and background. This is so important for young readers to see the diversity when it comes to inspiring children.

New in this book is the Bonus Audio Stories. For a couple select women, the book has included a QR code that readers can scan to get additional information on that woman/girl.


Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a free advanced copy of this title in exchange for an honest review.

If ever there was a super empowering and elite club to join, it would be the Rebel Girls' gang. It just keeps getting bigger and better by the book! Now it has gone green and is highlighting the stories of 25 amazing women, who have helped save the planet and environment! Alongside their fantastic bios, there is such a fabulous feature: a QR code that you can scan with your phone or device to bring you even more super information! It is soooo good! As always, we are treated to the most stunning illustrations and at the end, there is the usual fab feature of a blank space to add your story and image. Additional extras that make this such a special book are the activities at the end- ways you can celebrate nature and a really fab tips page on all the ways you can love green and make a personal difference. This is the best girl gang on earth. I so want to be part of this green army of amazing Climate Warriers from Margaret Atwood to ,Autumn Peltier, plus 23 more! #RebelGirlsClimateWarriers #netgalley

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 for this book. All opinions are my own. I voluntarily read this book.

[Jayne Downes · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an important book that every school library should have. Each page tells the story of a girl climate warrior and what they have done to protect the planet with a beautiful colour portrait illustrated by a female artist. These inspiring women come from all over the world and their activities include filmmaking to show the effects of climate change in the Arctic regions, inventing a bioplastic to replace plastic, and preventing areas of the rainforest from being cut down. Many of these warriors are not well known; there is a bonus feature where a QR code can take you to a longer audio story about some of these women. The activities page at the end of the book is a useful resource for teachers to use with their students. This is a very readable book suitable for middle school onwards; it would be good for a teacher to read aloud or for students to read. Thank you Netgalley.com for access to an inspirational book.

This is the second Rebel Girls book that I have read and I am absolutely loving this series. As a former elementary school teacher, I have noticed that kids sometimes pass up nonfiction books because they can come across as “clinical” sometimes.

However, this book is the exact opposite. Children will love the colorful illustrations of the climate warriors and their stories will inspire them to make changes that will impact the world.

I also loved that this book included activities at the end. The activities are perfect to complete as a family on the weekends or on school breaks.

This was a continuation of the other Rebel Girls series and I recommend this for all parents and educators. This
time it was a book showcasing all the "Rebel Girls" who are committed to climate change solutions. I learned
about so many new women, girls and different issues that I previously wasn't aware of. I love that each person
page has beautiful artwork and informative paragraphs of how they are helping the environment.

This is such an inspiring read for girls and women alike! From Angelina Arora to Kristal Ambrose, you're introduced to powerful ladies who are making a difference in protect Mother Nature. It's very moving, light-hearted, and entertaining at the same time. My favorite about this book are the beautiful illustrations of each woman which clearly and vibrantly gives a good representation of them and where they're coming from. Overall, what a lovely read! Would recommend to anyone of all ages!

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.

[Ioana · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not to add to the list of concerns we're facing on a daily basis, but paying attention to how we relate to and treat our world must be at the forefront of out thoughts. This is where this collection comes it to help a starting point in conversations with young people, and not only.
The women whose story we learn about in Rebel Girls Climate Warriors are listed alphabetically, which was a nice touch. There's isn't one field more important then the other, right? These women are inventors, climate activists, zoologists, biologists, entrepreneurs, journalists and filmmakers, and they all find a way to draw attention to how important caring for our world is. There are a lot of names I didn't know. To my shame, I only knew of Margaret Atwood and GretaThunberg, so it was a wonderful opportunity to learn of more climate warriors.
Each warrior gets a full page of information about their work told in easy to read and follow tone. Right under the text, their born date is written and the country they are from. On the right, there's an accompanying full page of their illustrated portrait and a quote by them. The name of the illiustrator is clearly visible on each page. Of course, the illustrator is a woman, which is just perfect. I like this format a lot, which is the same with other Rebel Girls books.
What makes this book even more special is that the women showcased in it are not just activists from long ago, but some are still active, and are of all ages. Some are teenagers, some are in their 40s, some in their 60s, but they all have something to say on the subject of climate change and activism. It's a book I am sure I can use in my class to spark conversations with the students.

I was preapproved by Net Galley and offered an e-book copy of this book for review. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own.

A stunning book with 25 awe inspiring stories of women from around the globe on how they overcame barriers and the closed minds of others to make their own environmental impact. Rebel Girls; Climate Warriors will encourage and inspire young minds to think on how they can join them in making a stand.

Easy to read and beautifully designed the climate warriors are introduced in an easy to read format, basic facts, wonderful illustrated image and quote.
The colour scheme of this book is calming and the graphics and fonts will appeal to a younger audience. I love that Rebel Girls has used QR codes to add extra information and further learning opportunities.

With varied illustrations throughout the book young artists will be inspired by the different techniques used. All illustrations have the artists name lending to easy reference for anyone inspired.

The end of the book has a fantastic addition where you can add your own illustration and life story and become the 26th Climate Warrior.
The book ends with some tips on how to start and how to have a more green focus in our lives.

Rebel Girls has done a fantastic job with this addition to the collection. My children particularly enjoyed listening to me read about Autumn Peltier as we haven't long finished her Rebel Girls podcast episode.

I was gifted a Digital copy of Rebel Girls; Climate Warriors in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Genre: Children's; Feminism

Global warming and climate change are a big theme in 21st century. Therefore I think this book is an essential read to any young girl to be aware how we can change our behaviour towards to nature to achieve improvement of the climate.

This book is a dedication to all women who are trying to make this world better by improving cities structures, protecting the water people drink and the same water which nourishes animals and plants, changing quality of plastic bags, to have clean air in cities, etc.

The book consents a story about famous Greta Thunberg but my favourite story is about Esohe Ozigbo. Esohe is a climate activist who uses a litter found on the beach, in the ocean or even on the streets of Lagos, Nigeria to create tops, skirts, dresses or even earrings and necklaces.

I would recommend this book to any girl or woman without an age limitation because messages in stories written in this book are so important that we should be aware of them. We should educate ourselves about them, keep reminding them and share them with people we are surrounded by.

A common theme for Rebel Girls books are illustrations with vivid colour scheme which I absolutely adored.

With thanks to NetGalley and especially to Rebel Girls for an electronic ARC in return for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC in exchange of my honest review. I'm big fan of Rebel Girls; It started with reading Good night Stories for rebel girls and haven't stopped reading rebel girls ever since.

As a woman in STEM, I always wondered when my books were filled male scientist, engineers, researcher and wonder why isn't there a female in them. Why the praises we here of our Women in our neighborhood, our nations are more recognized. But Rebel Girls are taking one step at a time and bringing light to those unsung warriors. In this edition, we are introduced with 25 known & unknown warriors that took upon themselves to protect the earth and educating the world on it. The short snippets of stories are written flawlessly & Beautiful illustrations to help young readers.
It also includes the little barcodes, so we can scan and read in depth & more stories, activities.

I really loved the stories of Autumn Peltier & courageous behavior to protect the water & stand-up for the things that really mattered to her & How Purnima Devi Barman helped preserved & save a wildlife & as well as creating & leading an army of woman to spread the same message.

Definitely a quick, engaging & inspiring read for everyone!

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.

[Louise (Bookmarks and Stages blog) Cannon · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book follows the format of the others of a brief description and then a picture of the person it is referring to in illustration form. This time it focuses on those who have featured on the news and other mediums, but that's not to say that whatever you do, however big and small doesn't count, it does. This is often where these books fall down slightly. In saying that, the book ends with a small and useful bit (although by no means exhaustive list) about what people can feasibly do to help.

The people who are chosen have been chosen well because it isn't always the most obvious people like Greta Thunberg or water activists etc, there are people from places you may not expect, who have shown care for the environment, such as people from politics and journalism and authors too. It is these people that make this book stand out more than it otherwise perhaps would, just because it is perhaps not what you think of first.

The information provided is short and to the point, covering a bit about what they do, who they are and their care about the environment and climate change and will capture the imagination of children and is a good talking point. The layout and tone as ever is well-pitched for the age group most likely to read this ever-growing series.
