Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy of this title in exchange for an honest review,

This is such a great book to introduce kids, and even adults, to Greta Thunberg and her climate change protests. This book shows how climate change is effecting the world in a way for kids to understand and gives idea on how to help slow the progression of climate change. Overall, this is a wonderful picture book!

Great little story for inspiring children to think about the planet. My son has since been watching and reading some of Greta's speeches and exploring other young climate activists. We've read this a few times, he loves it.

Would pair well with [b:Time to Roar|49127648|Time to Roar|Olivia Cole|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1582785964l/49127648._SX50_.jpg|74580932].
As an allegory, this story works, but the solution seems to wrap up a little too easily. Back matter includes explanation about how/why it was inspired by Greta Thunberg and steps you can take to make a difference.

This is a simple book explaining the story of Greta Thunberg, the climate activist, to the picture book crowd. Using giants as the big bad adults, Greta stands up to them, and explains that they are destroying the planet. At first no one hears her, but then as more people take up her cry, the giants realize the harm they have done.



And everyone lives happily ever after.

Oh, if only this were the case.

Unfortunately, I do not hold out much hope for us, but without hope, we wouldn't even try, so perhaps, in that regard, this is a good book for kids, to show that they can change their fate, even if they can't.

I am such a cynical skeptic.

Recommended.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

This is a sweet imaginative take on real world events. Unlike the real world, the giants listen and change their behavior to save the forest. The book is clear that this book has a happily ever after that the real world has yet to see and provides some encouraging tips to help others get started on Eco-activism.
I liked that this book chose to provide an "ideal world" scenario for this. Just how easy it could be to listen and change, even when you've made -sometimes unknowingly- made mistakes. It also is encouraging about making your voice heard about something you care about even if you don't think anyone will notice. At first people didn't notice Greta (real and fiction) until they did.
