Visually appealing, especially for the young ones to read which showcases women from around the world and their accomplishments. I appreciate the fact that this one focuses specifically on immigrants and their experiences.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read in exchange for an honest review.

I love this series as a podcast and even more as. book! Although the advanced copy I had didn't have illustrations visible I can only imagine how they would have added to the enjoyment of learning about such fascinating women. I read part of this with my daughters and son and we went down so many rabbit holes to learn and explore about the women that have helped to shape our world. An excellent resource!

Yet another amazing book for the Rebel Girls collection. This empowering collection of immigrant woman was a huge hit with my daughter. These stories are so beautifully told. They are inspirational. Rebel Girls is on such a great mission to empower all girls, regardless of walk of life. They tell stories of hope and success in a time when woman are still fighting for equal place amongst me. I highly recommend this, and all Rebel Girls books, to all kids/students.

A very valuable read for our young children. Where it can be very inspiring for the girls it can also provide motivation and encouragement to the boys .

I always enjoy the various Rebel Girls books because when I read them, I come away with knowledge about people I’ve never heard of. In my classroom, I try to teach my students about a new person every day and try to focus on lesser known figures. This book will certainly help with that, and I know students will find it interesting to read as well.

I absolutely loved Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Immigrant Women Who Changed the World. This book is a beautiful tribute to the countless immigrant women who have made a lasting impact on our world, often in the face of incredible adversity.

The stories themselves are inspiring and well-written, and the illustrations are lovely. I appreciated the diversity of women represented in this book - from scientists to activists to artists - and I learned so much about historical figures I had never heard of before.

My only complaint is that some of the stories felt a bit rushed or condensed. I would have loved to read more in-depth profiles of some of these incredible women, rather than just a brief overview of their accomplishments. But I understand that this book is aimed at a younger audience, and I think it does a fantastic job of introducing kids (and adults!) to a wide variety of trailblazing women from around the world.

Overall, I would highly recommend Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls to anyone looking for a dose of inspiration and a reminder of the amazing things that immigrant women have accomplished throughout history. It's a beautiful, empowering book that deserves a place on every bookshelf.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to review a temporary digital ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

As always, this series just keeps on giving. These are fantastic stories to look at before bed, and I think all girls should have a copy of one of these books by their bed.

I really enjoy reading the Rebel Girl series. I think they come up with creative ways to celebrate women and showcase all their talents and drive. To help be an inspiration to all women and young women and girls out there. I love how this time they chose immigrant women who changed the world. Other young girls or young women who come from immigrant families or immigrated themselves to other countries should be able to have their story told or see that someone like them can make a difference.

I loved the short snippets of each story. This will work well with reluctant readers and also those who are curious and want to know more.

I can't get enough of these Rebel Girl books! They are so informative and interesting. These need to be in every library and in many classrooms. This is a great way to apply history and cultural studies in a way that allows girls to see that women's roles in history, their stories, their hardships, are so, so important.

I adore every single Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls book I read! Every installment brings attention to so many epic women from history and present-day who were/are incredibly impactful. The women are selected from vastly different times in history, are all of the varying ages, and are all incredibly diverse. This series is one I wished I had when I was a child but I am so elated young children are able to read about all these incredible figures and everything they accomplished. Each woman selected has an enthralling story that will captivate any reader!

What an inspiring collection of stories! This is a wonderful addition to the series. I wish there had been more books like this when I was a child. I’m looking forward to gifting this to the children in my life once they grow a bit older. Highly recommended!

Been using this in my coursework for a few semesters and have really enjoyed giving these bite sized stories to encourage my students to do deeper research.

I liked this book, but not as much as the first one in the Rebel girls series. That being said, it is an inspiring piece of collection of stories about immigrant women. I specially enjoyed that one of my favourite authors, Min Jin Lee also had a chapter on her.

I really liked a lot about this book and I only really disliked a little. One of the main things I loved about this book was that the women they talked about immigrated to many many different countries, not just America. It would have been so easy for the author to have every immigrant story be from some other country in the world to America, but they exceeded my expectations! Another thing I loved about this book is the amount of current and historical people that were mentioned. There are so many current immigrants that need their stories told and this was a wonderful way to do it. The only thing that I did not like was some of the artistry. I understand that they chose known and unknown artists, but not all artists hold merit. It didn't full detract from the book, but it also did not enhance it the way I would have liked. Overall, I loved it.

It was wonderful to discover so many trailblazing women from all over the world. They have such amazing, touching stories. This was a good starter for me and I was interested in investigating more about some of the stories I read. One in particular was Olga Korbut, the Korbut flip is breath-taking!
