This book smells of money but does it matter if it raises awareness?
The state of our world and our fault in it is told in the simplest of ways to the youngest of readers. I am not sure whether everything is as black-and-white as it's depicted here I think that is not the point. The point is to raise awareness and make people think about the subject. If they are thinking about it then all the gray areas can be sorted out.

Most of the story was given to reader by short sentences and big pictures and then it ends with two full pages of text. That's the most insane infodump I've encountered and as I understand that informations importance it seems to be forgetting the target audience. If your audience can only grasp short sentences and pictures those last to pages obviously aren't for them.

It's a nice book and the pictures are gorgeous.

I loved this! The art was phenomenal and the message amazing. I didn't know much about Greta I'm glad I now do.

A fabulous non-fiction picture book! Children and grown-ups alike will be drawn in by the large size, beautiful illustrations, and powerful message. Greta is an an inspiration to so many, and I love the straight-forward and easy to digest format that introduces her to children and people who may not have heard of her. The back matter is informative without being preachy or boring, as well as directing readers to more information available on the internet.

I was fortunate to receive a free ARC of this book from Netgalley. The above thoughts, insights, or recommendations are my own meek musings.

Cute environmental fairy tale inspired by Greta Thunberg.

The story is cute (and perfect for my youngest students) but it's the illustrations that really make this book so sweet! Excited to read this one and talk about Greta with my kiddos.

I love some Greta Thunberg. I love to hear to tell it to world leaders as it is.

This is told like a little bit of a fairytale. Greta lives in a forest and the animals are being wiped out by giants who have built cities and factories and are killing everything. Greta isn’t scared and she stands up to them by protesting. It’s a lovely story, because in this one, the giants actually listen to the kids and make changes and save the world unlike the real world where they listen to her and ignore her and go about their business, at least some of them.

I think it’s makes the idea of Climate change easier to understand as an allegory like this. There is a 2 page spread at the end about Climate Change and the real Greta Thunberg. It also shows this as a collective problem that we all need to band together to solve. I think it’s well done and I like the cartoony artwork used. Greta is very cute here.

The nephew enjoyed all the critters in the book. It wasn’t really funny and not so monstery, although, the giants were somewhat monsters, but he didn’t count them. He gave this 3 stars and wanted something with more action. I need to get something just for him soon. I’ll have to look for it. Ninjas or lord help me, video games.
