They speak for our critters: Rebel Girls Animal Allies

#RebelGirlsAnimalAllies #NetGalley
The Rebel Girls series is one that consistently offers it readers inspiring short biographies along with lively graphics. This time the editors have turned their gaze on women who care about and work for the betterment of animals.
Some of those featured are well known, as for example, Bindi Irwin, Jane Goodall and Temple Grandin. There are many others to meet as well including activists, filmmakers, conservationists, architects, vets and more. Spending time with all of them is inspiring. At the end of the books, readers will find additional resources.
This title would make an excellent addition to both home and school libraries.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Rebel Girls for this title. All opinions are my own.
