Are you an advocate for any causes? At Wrapped in Foil blog, we are advocates for children’s books, and more specifically the middle grade title Girl Warriors: How 25 Young Activists Are Saving the Earth by Rachel Sarah.
In this book you will meet 25 girls and young women under the age of 25 who have decided to speak up for the Earth and for themselves. Eloquent and innovative, they hope to change minds and make a difference.
Young women like:
• Daphne Frias in West Harlem, New York City describes herself as “an un-apologetically fierce Latina, who is proudly disabled,” and is currently in medical school.
• Maya Penn in Atlanta, Georgia who is an eco-fashion designer, animator, producer and TED speaker.
• Malaika Vaz in Goa, India who is a National Geographic Explorer and filmmaker.
• Vanessa Nakate in Uganda, Africa who founded the @TheRiseUpMovem1 and has been building solar-powered schools in Kampala.
Chicago Review Press books are all about getting hands on. If the stories of these girls and young women inspire you, delve into the four pages of resources in the back matter to find out where you can make a difference, too.
Rachel Sarah is trained as a journalist, which shows in her clean and unobtrusive writing. She has gleaned personal details on each of the young women, making each of them stand out as memorable individuals.
Girl Warriors is an exciting book for young readers interested in activism and making a difference. Get inspired by a copy today!
