This book is a fictionalized story based on a real life girl who decided that she had to help our planet.  The giants have taken over and are destroying everything.  Greta is going to take a stand, and others will join her to defeat the giants and make them learn better ways.  What a wonderful story of a true superhero who stood up and said Not today.

A fictional retelling of Greta Thunberg’s fight for the climate crisis. This children’s picture book has attractive, eye-catching illustrations and poignant writing on important topics. I felt the ending was missing something but otherwise a great way to educate children.

Beautifully illustrated, I do feel like it would have benefited more with a little bit of a rhyming scheme. Picked this up for a friends daughter and will make a lovely edition to her collection and a charming way to explain climate change and how we need to protect the planet to kids.

Beautifully illustrated and tells the inspired story of Greta, which has a good ending. We might not though.

"No one is too small to make a difference."

This was such an adorable and informative read. I was very happy to receive this Arc from Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Childrens as I had been anticipating to read this books, as well s more about Greta and her story. This book captured the essence of being a "child", innocent yet powerful in their own way. Greta's fight inspired others and I'm sure will continue to inspire a younger generation. This book will surely persuade other children, as well as "Giants" to get their act together and start working towards a cleaner and healthier tomorrow, where our world is fully appreciated and protected. I will 100% be getting this book for my younger family members, as well as myself because I just can't resist a good illustrated inspiring story!

I applaud the author and illustrator for taking such a complex, yet crucial message and explain it in a way that children can easily comprehend. Climate change is real and we can’t afford to ignore it. Greta Thunberg’s courage is inspiring and sets a wonderful example to kids and adults alike of how important it is to stand up for what you believe, even when faced with powerful, frightening giants.

I love the diversity of the characters in the book, both the protesters and the giants, because it helps to show how this affects everyone and how crucial it is to take a stand, together. If only the real giants would be as easy to convince to take responsibility and help the environment.

The drawings in the book are absolutely beautiful, vibrant and rich in color and with wonderful details, a feast for the eyes!

This is a really cute picture book inspired by the environmental activist Greta Thunberg. I wish we could have that happy ending too but sadly, people's greed are too strong to care about anything but profit. They don't really think about the future generations and the rest of the living things in the environment.

Nevertheless, just because some big companies contribute a lot to global warming (and don't care) doesn't mean that we, as individuals, can't change some habits to help reduce it. We should be better than them and start little by little until it becomes a part of us. We are over 7 billion and I'm sure that our actions, no matter how small, contributes to the greater good.

We need only start.

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with the digital copy for an honest review.

*Disclaimer: I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

My son is almost three but is already curious about recycling and “naughty people” who drop litter. This book is the perfect story to introduce your child to the effects of climate change and is a motivating narrative to children who are already aware of what is going on.

The illustrations are adorable and will grab both the child’s and adult’s attention whilst sparking a conversation about climate change and humans’ effect on the environment.

This is something that I will definitely be buying a physical copy of in order to share with my son and I would highly recommend that every parent buy this.

5 out of 5 stars!
