About the Book
The inspiring true story of a Greta Thunberg, a young eco-activist whose persistence sparked a global movement.
You are never too young to make a difference.
Ever since she learned about climate change, Greta Thunberg couldn’t understand why politicians weren’t treating it as an emergency. In August 2018, temperatures in Sweden reached record highs, fires raged across the country, and fifteen-year-old Greta decided to stop waiting for political leaders to take action. Instead of going to school on Friday, she made a sign and went on strike in front of Stockholm’s parliament building.
Greta’s solo protest grew into the global Fridays for Future—or School Strike 4 Climate—movement, which millions have now joined. She has spoken at COP24 (the UN summit on climate change) and has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. This timely, unofficial biography is her story, but also that of many others around the world willing to fight against the indifference of the powerful for a better future.
My Take on the Book
This was a great book that really introduces you to an amazing young woman that is trying to change the world in her own way. I loved sharing this book with my own girls as it was an inspirational read that let them know that they too can change the world, even as a younger person, and that change does not have to come from only adults. The book is a powerful story and one that all should read. I, for one, want to see Greta continue to champion this cause as our world needs to make changes to fix the damage that has already been done!
