annieb123's Review of Questions for Rebel Girls

by Rebel Girls

"Rebel Girls latest installment puts your kid in the driver's seat. It's a great way to kickstart conversations and get them thinking about the world around them and their place in it." ? Motherly

Designed to ignite exciting discussions between little rebels and their siblings, friends, and grown-ups, Questions for Rebel Girls is packed with more than 300 entertaining and thought-provoking questions inspired by real rebel women from the best-selling Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls series - including some questions submitted by young fans of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls.

Jane Goodall devoted her life to studying chimpanzees. If you dedicated your life to one type of animal, what would it be?

When cyclist Alfonsina Strada began racing, she was so unstoppable that newspapers nicknamed her "the devil in a dress." What would your cycling nickname be?

Celia Cruz is the Queen of Salsa music. Beyoncé is a pop superstar. Roxanne Shante is an amazing rapper. And Joan Jett is all about rock and roll. If you could be a singing sensation, what type of music would you sing? If you could perform a duet with anyone in the world, who would you pick?

If you could meet any woman from any country and any time in history, who would it be? What would you ask her?

Would you rather ask questions or answer them? Luckily, with Questions for Rebel Girls, you can do both!

Girls love to explore their feelings, uncover their personality, and decode the world around them. One way to do that is to explore their answers to provocative questions about anything and everything.

Questions for Rebel Girls introduces readers to extraordinary women throughout history and asks them to imagine themselves in similar scenarios.

Originally posted on my blog: Nonstop Reader.

Questions for Rebel Girls is a well thought out collection of prompts collected by the editors at Rebel Girls. Due out 19th Oct 2021, it's 144 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats.

These are refreshingly deep and thought provoking questions/prompts in different contexts to start discussions and self-examination. They can be used for group discussions or for solo work, such as journaling or self-learning.

The art is exuberant and colorful (like all of Rebel Girls' materials) and graphically appealing. The art is full page. The first part of each entry contains a portrait of a female icon (Lady Gaga, Ada Lovelace, Jane Goodall, and many many others) followed by questions to expand on the theme (how did you feel when..., what are some things which..., if you dedicated your life to studying....).

Five stars. This is a worthwhile book from a genuinely worthwhile publisher. It would make a good choice for public or classroom library acquisition, writing groups for youngsters, activity groups, or gifting to a young friend who enjoys writing. Long live Rebel Girls!

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
