Following on from my review Good Night Stories For Rebel Girls 100 Real-Life Tales of Black Girl Magic, I knew I wanted to read more stories about inspirational women. Rebel Girls have created a series that focuses on female empowerment and highlights key strengths for young girls, such as honesty and resilience. As a feminist, I adore any book that has a dedication to teaching the next generation to follow in the footsteps of the powerful women before them. The modern world is complicated and these books are a reminder that hard work and resourcefulness can go a long way.
With beautiful illustrations, Rebel Girls Champions tells the story of twenty-five female athletes and their rise to fame and success. Starting with Alice Milliat, the rower, activist, and creator of The Women's World Games, and ending with Yusra Mardini, a Syrian swimmer who competed in the 2016 Rio Olympics as part of the first-ever Refugee Team, Rebel Girl Champions introduces a winning team of athletes ready to fight, train and inspire thousands of children.
The stories included are short and sweet. They offer a unique perspective into the life of a female athlete showing both the positives and the negatives. They demonstrate how success comes hand-in-hand with hard work and sometimes sacrifices have to be made to follow dreams and ambition. All of the women featured spent years of their lives training and honing their talent into perfection. This collection of stories offers a much-needed dose of inspiration for children everywhere.
