Hi friends! This is Sanvi from mybookstash. I'm a 10 year old book enthusiast
I review children's books. In today's
video I'm going to review the book

Elena Favilli and Francesca Cavallo

So let's get started !
I have this hardcover
edition which we bought online. The cover
page is simple yet creatively done with
many Rebel girls names inscribed on it
It's a hundred stories of real woman who
have achieved incredible things despite
all odds. Astronauts, Chefs, Painters,
Judges, Tennis players and extraordinary
women who have changed the course of history'
says the author. There is a little
story about why we got this book. My mom
came across a video on a social media
site after which she decided to get this
book for me. In that video a mother-daughter
duo do a small experiment on a bookshelf
in a library. First they remove the books
with 0 male characters- books removed 3.
Then they remove the books with 0 female
characters books removed
76. Next they remove the books where
females don't speak,books removed - 141. Finally they remove all the books
about princesses. Out of a full bookshelf
only a few were left so the authors
decided to create a book featuring a
hundred rebellious girls from history
who made there mark.
'Each of the hundred stories in this book
proves the world changing power of a
trusting heart' says the author. Famous
woman of the past like scientists Marie
Curie and Nettie Stevens, activists Rosa Parks
and Helen Keller Queens Cleopatra and
Lakshmi bai writers Isabel Allende
and Virginia Woolf and architect Zaha
Hadid are included in this book. Now about
the book so on one side of each page is
one out of one hundred girls and on the
other side is an illustration of the
girl. These illustrations are
extraordinary and done by various
artists across the world.
Their names are mentioned in on the
respective pages. Each biography includes
a short story about that girl along with
details of her birth date, birth place and
a quote from the Rebel girl. Nearly all
of these begin with 'Once upon a time'
just like a typical Bedtime story. Some
stories make you sad while some bring
happiness and hope. But all of the tales
are inspiring and empowering. It's
perfect
as a bedtime story for children. What I
like about this book is that the Rebel
girls featured in this book reflect
different communities, ethnicities
religions, disabilities etc Strong women
belonging to diverse cultures from
different countries like India, Sudan, Cuba Italy, Russia, Somalia,
Mexico, Burma, Canada etc are included along
with women from the Western countries
This makes it more popular all over the
world
What I observed in this book is that
each story gives just the basic
information. If you want to know more we
we need to Google. Besides this it's a
wonderful book to have on your shelf. The
next book in this series is called
Good night stories for rebel girls 2              
 I recommend this book for six years and
above
I give this book four and a half stars
for the concept of having such an
inspiring book as a bedtime story book
I will be reading the stories of few of my
favorite Rebel girls in the next video.
The link to that video is given in the
description box. That's all for today
