Greta and the Giants: inspired by Greta Thunberg's stand to save the world by Zoe Persico, Zoë Tucker
5.0
Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this title!
Greta and the Giants is a tale about a girl named Greta who has to help the animals of the forest protect their environment from Giants who cause harm unknowingly. The book is inspired by real climate change activist, and teen, Greta Thurnberg.
The art is spectacular and vivid using bright greens and blues for the forest while the city is drawn in dark grey. The image of billowing smoke, and roads stretching for miles illuminate the dangers presented by pollution.
The storytelling here is quite good, given the audience. Greta and the Giants introduces young readers to the concepts of activism, conservation, and climate change action in an easily digestible fashion. The story, while not too complex gets its point across quite succinctly.
I loved how it gave some background on Greta Thurnberg herself at the back of the title, so readers could draw those connections between the fictional / fantastical tale and the real one.
Would definitely recommend this title for any library collection.
10/10
