Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls" offers a new bedtime reading experience for a generation that will shape the future. Departing from traditional fairy tale endings, this book explores alternative narratives where princesses become astronauts, step-sisters are supportive and kind, and queens take charge of their kingdoms.
The book, vibrantly illustrated and truly inspirational, tells the stories of 100 heroic women spanning from Elizabeth I to Serena Williams. Created by entrepreneurs Elena Favilli and Francesca Cavallo, the project originated from a successful crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. Fueled by the realization of the lack of female role models in children's literature, the authors set out to write a book that tells a different story, challenging gender stereotypes.
"Illustrated by sixty female artists from every corner of the globe, 'Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls' introduces us to one hundred remarkable women and their extraordinary lives, from Ada Lovelace to Malala, Amelia Earhart to Michelle Obama. Empowering, moving, and inspirational, these are true fairy tales for heroines who definitely don't need rescuing.
