What's the Story?
REBEL GIRLS AWESOME ENTREPRENEURS: 25 TALES OF WOMEN BUILDING BUSINESS highlights female CEOs, entrepreneurs, founders, and investors who have helped shape the world into a better place. The book includes a companion app with bonus stories, as well as a detailed business plan template in the back of the book with tips for kids to follow to start their own businesses.
Is It Any Good?
A gripping collection of inspiring success stories alongside an informative how-to section, this book belongs in every child's home library. What puts Rebel Girls Awesome Entrepreneurs: 25 Tales of Women Building Business above even the other books in the Goodnight Rebel Girls series is its bevy of practical information. Tucked into the activity section at the back of the book is an impressively detailed 12-step plan to starting your first business, including everything from building a prototype and funding the company to finding a mentor. It's even topped off with a "Super Slime Shoppe" case study. It's the perfect complement to the 25 motivating tales of women facing down sexism, racism, bullying, and imposter syndrome to find success. This small paperback book will have a big impact on your child's perception of what's possible.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about how different girls and women in Rebel Girls Awesome Entrepreneurs: 25 Tales of Women Building Business felt unsure of themselves, even when they did well. Why would that happen? Have you ever felt you didn't belong on a team or in a game even though you had the skills you needed to be there?
Parents and kids can read the detailed "Build Your Own Business Plan" in the back of the book and through all the steps together. Brainstorm ways to be an entrepreneur, even if you're a kid.
What do you think of the advice in some of the women's quotes, like "Never a failure, always a lesson" and "Prepare, practice, and have confidence"? What other advice can you find in the book that could be helpful to follow?
