Product Description ONE OF OPRAH'S FAVORITE THINGS 2021! A 2021 NATIONAL PARENTING PRODUCT AWARDS WINNER! As Oprah says on Oprah Daily, "Reading can inspire you to do great things—what a great gift for a preteen! This series features boundary-breaking women and includes stories about some who have moved me the most—like Toni Morrison. They even included me!" The latest installment in the New York Times bestselling Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls series, featuring 100 immigrant women who have shaped, and will continue to shape, our world. Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Immigrant Women Who Changed the World is the third book in the New York Times bestselling series for children. Packed with 100 all-new bedtime stories about the lives of incredible female figures from the past and the present, this volume recognizes women who left their birth countries for a multitude of reasons: some for new opportunities, some out of necessity. Readers will whip up a plate with Asma Khan, strategize global affairs alongside Madeleine Albright, venture into business with Rihanna, and many more. All of these unique, yet relatable stories are accompanied by gorgeous, full-page, full-color portraits, illustrated by female artists from all over the globe. From School Library Journal Gr 3–6—The newest installment in the series spotlights and celebrates women who were immigrants. The text follows the winning combination of short profiles of courageous, impressive individuals alongside vibrant illustrations created by various artists. Women from all over the world are featured, including Anna Wintour, Carmen Herrera, Claudia Rankine, Gloria Estefan, Ilhan Omar, Min Jin Lee, Rihanna, and Marjane Satrapi. Each profile outlines how both their home country and their adopted country impacted their lives and work. Notably, this collection features more contemporary women who are alive today, such as Peruvian-born, immigration rights activist Lorella Praeli, alongside historical figures, including Black and Native American (Mississauga Ojibwe) sculptor Edmonia Lewis. The brief prose is readable without diminishing the impact of the women. As with previous entries, this title features a wide range of women. Diverse ethnicities, countries of origin, fields of interest, ages, and time frames are all represented. A glossary and an index of artists are included.
