About This Book:
TRUE STORIES OF ANIMAL ADVOCATES
Meet 25 brave, compassionate scientists, veterinarians, activists, and others who fight for animal rights and conservation. Animal Allies takes readers all around the world—to the tops of trees and the bottom of oceans, deep into the jungle and high into the mountains.
Swim with the sharks alongside Eugenie Clark, build bat houses with Amanda Lear, nurse a baby hippo to health with Christina Gorsuch, and protect endangered seahorses with Amanda Vincent and Heather Koldewey.
With a foreword by zoologist Lucy King and activities curated by conservationist Bindi Irwin, this book is sure to inspire animal lovers everywhere. Plus, scannable codes let you listen to longer stories on the Rebel Girls App!

Beautiful and Highly Engaging
love the Rebel Girl books. They are always so informative, and Animal Allies is no different.
In Rebel Girls: Animal Allies – 25 Tales of Women Working, we get to learn about theses extraordinary women from well known Bindi Irwin and Jane Goodall to women I’ve never once heard of like Laura Kojima and Gillian Burke; plus there are occasional animal facts thrown in!
The illustrations are fantastic. They capture the essence of the woman they were drawn for perfectly. At the end of the book, Rebel Girls includes the name and location of each female artist whose illustration was used, as well as the page number you can reference their work.
I adore all the extras found in the back of the book. Fun sketch and share activities for children to draw their own animal companion, a spot to write your own story into the book, and ways you can become an Animal Ally! The ideas provided are fun and great way to get children involved in conservation.
This was a wonderful book to have added to my homeschool library! I look forward to more Rebel Girls stories!
