Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls 2
is an entirely new collection of 100 more bedtime stories about extraordinary women from all over the world. It boasts a brand new graphic design + 100 incredible new portraits created by the best female artists of our time. I did two illustrations for the book, which are the portrait of Marta Vieira De Silva, footballer & Mary Seacole, Jamaican business woman and nurse.
Marta Vieira De Silva
Marta Vieira da Silva (born 19 February 1986), commonly known as Marta, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for the Orlando Pride in the National Women's Soccer League and the Brazil national team as a forward. With 15 goals, she holds the record for most goals scored at FIFA Women's World Cup tournaments, surpassing Brigit Prinz's previous record of 14 with a goal against South Korea in Brazil's first match of the 2015 edition in Canada.
Marta is often regarded as the best female player of all time, coveting the nickname Pelé with skirts by Pelé himself.

Mary Seacole
Mary Jane Seacole was a Jamaican business woman and nurse who set up the British Hotel behind the lines during the Crimean War. She described this as "a mess-table and comfortable quarters for sick and convalescent officers",
and provided succour for wounded servicemen on the battlefield. She was posthumously awarded the Jamaican Order of Merit in 1991. In 2004 she was voted
the greatest black Briton.
