Overview
Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: The Chapter Book Collection gathers five illustrated chapter books celebrating real women who changed the world. Written in the signature Rebel Girls biographical style, each story follows a groundbreaking figure—from computing pioneer Ada Lovelace to Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai—as she pursues her boldest dream against the odds. Vivid illustrations by female artists and hands-on backmatter bring each story to life for middle-grade readers. Perfect for independent reading, family read-alouds, or classroom libraries, this hardcover boxed set is an inspiring introduction to history, science, art, and activism through extraordinary trailblazers.

About the Books
Each book in this collection turns a real woman's life story into an engaging, chapter-book-length narrative built for readers who are ready to move beyond picture books but still love plenty of illustration. Ada Lovelace Cracks the Code introduces the nineteenth-century mathematician whose visionary notes on Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine helped lay the groundwork for modern computing. Madam C. J. Walker Builds a Business follows the entrepreneur who became one of America's first self-made female millionaires by creating haircare products for Black women. Wangari Maathai Plants a Forest tells the story of the Kenyan environmentalist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate who founded the Green Belt Movement. Junko Tabei Masters the Mountains celebrates the Japanese climber who became the first woman to summit Mount Everest. Alicia Alonso Takes the Stage traces the life of the Cuban ballerina who danced professionally despite severe vision loss and went on to found a major international ballet company. Every title blends narrative biography with historical detail, delivering roughly 100-130 pages of accessible reading, illustrated throughout by a female artist, with backmatter activities that invite readers to dig deeper into each woman's field—whether that's coding, business, environmental science, mountaineering, or dance. Sold together in one sturdy boxed set, the collection is designed to be read in any order, making it easy for kids to start with whichever story calls to them first and work through the rest at their own pace.
