From the moment we discovered Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls by Francesca Cavallo and Elena Favilli, we knew it was bound to be a massive hit. A book full of diverse, inspiring women’s stories complete with great writing and stunning illustrations — what’s not to love?
Then came the smash sequel, Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls Vol. 2 which made it on our Editors’ Top 10 Picks of the Year list.
Well now that we’re all amply motivated and inspired, it’s time for all you rebel girls (and women) out to start doing more of your own incredible things and elevating your own incredible voices, with. I Am a Rebel Girl: A Journal to Start Revolutions, launching via Kickstarter today.
(Update: 1 hour after the campaign went live, it was already 40% funded. Whoa.)
Related; 4 fantastic, creative journals to get kids drawing, reflecting, or plotting to save the world.
Each colorful page is filled with prompts, activities and idea starters — a full 100 in all — to get girls thinking, get girls dreaming, and most importantly, get girls doing.
Because lord knows we need all of the enlightened, empowered, badass young women we can get these days.
As the authors describe it, the journal is to help “train their rebel spirit” so, heck yeah. Count me in as reporting for training. Because there’s nothing more American than revolution.
You can pre-order I Am a Rebel Girl: A Journal to Start Revolutions, starting today, with the Kickstarter campaign ending October 17. Great opportunity to get in on it early with some good deals and rewards! Shipping before the holidays.
PS If you haven’t yet listened to Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls the Podcast, it’s a great listen. After Spawned, of course. Ha. Each episode is about 15 minutes long, and features the bios in the books read by the likes of Tarana Burke, Melinda Gates, Jodi Kantor, and Diana Nyad. Perfect for car rides and carpools.
