100 Real-Life Tales of Black Girl Magic, the fourth in the Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls series, tells the stories of remarkable Black women and girls, including tennis player Naomi Osaka, author Toni Morrison and aviator Bessie Coleman. The book features portraits illustrated by more than 60 Black female and non-binary artists. CaShawn Thompson, the creator of the #BlackGirlMagic hashtag, penned the foreword.

After reading 100 Real-Life Tales of Black Girl Magic, both Beauvais and Nicolet were introduced to some of the stories for the first time.

"I found reading the stories of these amazing women inspiring," says Nicolet in a statement. "There were so many stories I hadn't heard before. I'm proud to share them with kids who will grow up with a whole new set of heroes."

Adds Beauvais, "I had a wonderful time reading these stories. They are inspiring and I learned a lot."

The book creators hope young readers will have the same experience — and revel in learning about the bravery and brilliance of the women featured in it.

"[The book] is designed to acknowledge, applaud and amplify the incredible stories of Black women and girls from the past and present, and to celebrate Black Girl Magic around the world," adds Workneh. "Because if she can see it, she can be it."

Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Real-Life Tales of Black Girl Magic will be published this fall. Stories from the audiobook will be available in the Rebel Girls, Dream On app.
