The Rebel Girls are back, and they’re more badass and inspiring than ever.
It’s hard to overstate how excited I was about the first volume of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls. A whole book full of the biographies of stereotype-busting sheroes? Illustrated with gorgeous portraits from female artists around the world? Heck yeah, I was sold!
And this beautiful book far exceeded my already sky-high expectations and became a permanent fixture on my coffee table. So obviously I’m now bouncing up and down for the second volume, which by the way, includes Beyoncé.
Okay, now I’m really freaking out.

Beyond household names like Queen Elizabeth and Rosa Parks, vol. 1 introduced kids to unsung achievers who are every bit as inspiring. And vol. 2 will give us 100 new women to learn about and look up to.
And, hey, I’m not the only one who sees the need for more and more bedtime stories that go beyond handsome princes and damsels in distress. The Kickstarter for Rebel Girls vol. 1 became the most crowdfunded book in history, with over $600,000 raised. And in just a few hours of launching their Kickstarter for vol. 2, they raised more than $200,000. Boom.
I can’t wait to get my hands on this second volume and also give this book to all the girls and women (and hey, guys too) in my life whose inner rebel could use a little encouraging.
So, all of us, right?
There are 28 days left to back this Kickstarter project and reserve your own copy of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls, Vol. 2. Don’t miss out!
I never thought twice about diapering my son with the eco-not-so-conscious disposable diaper. I have to admit, I thought that cloth diapers were still big cotton towels that required safety pins, manual dexterity, and a whole lot of free time.
Don’t get any sick ideas, dear readers. We’ve all seen our share of those softies and we certainly don’t need a stuffed one of THOSE laying around the house.
When my 3 year old was a newborn we planned a trip to Europe and before I could say auf viedersehn, my brain pictured all the filthy traveling potties we would encounter while changing her diaper.
