We know our customers love the Little People Big Dreams series and are sure that this edition will be a hit.
As always with this fantastic series, there is the perfect level of information to keep all aged readers engaged. It works as a brilliant introduction to Greta for younger readers but will also enlighten older readers with further information about her family history and the background to her action for climate change.
The illustrations are beautifully inclusive and quirky and the style fits the subject perfectly.
Another hit from this well loved series.

What a wonderful little book!
This series for younger readers about important people is always beautifully written and illustrated and this is no different.
It is a very visually appealing book, so would definitely grab the attention of those too young to read it themselves, and the story is more than interesting enough (while short and sharp) for those who are a bit older.
The actual images of Greta Thunberg at the end add the realism that is needed to show the readers that this book is based on reality which makes the story even more impressive.
Cant wait to read more of this series.

My thanks to Quarto Publishing Group - Francis Lincoln Children’s Books for a temporary digital edition via NetGalley of ‘Greta Thunberg’, written by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara and illustrated by Anke Weckmann, in exchange for an honest review.

This little book is intended for children aged 4-7 and is part of its publishers acclaimed ‘Little People, BIG DREAMS’ series that introduces young readers to the lives and works of significant people including scientists, writers, political figures and the like via books and educational games.

While many of those honoured by this series are mature or no longer with us, Greta Thunberg is still a teenager, yet one who has already made a huge impact on our world, even winning the TIME Person of the Year award in 2019.

I knew very little about Greta’s background before this including that she is distantly related to Svante Arrhenius, the Nobel-winning scientist who over a hundred years ago predicted that carbon emissions would lead to global warming or that her parents raised her to be aware of nature and the environment.

Her initial Friday school strike, sitting outside the Swedish Parliament with a homemade sign, grew and grew to become a global phenomenon.

I loved Anke Weckmann’s colourful artwork with its positive motifs. The book concludes with a timeline of Greta’s life to date and some suggestions for further reading.

A very inspiring book for young readers given that Greta is not that much older than they are. It likely will also be helpful for children who are on the spectrum to see that Greta considers her Asperger’s syndrome as her superpower.

Again, a book and series that I am always happy to recommend to parents, educators, and librarians.

Great addition to the Little People Big Dreams series. Great illustrations. This is a great way to introduce children to people who have changed the world.!!
Thanks NetGalley for the ARC!!!

I absolutely adore this range of books and the amazing people they teach my children about.

I think this book is especially important as it shows that Asperger's in a positive light and shows children that they can make a difference no matter how young they are!

Requested this book to see what these stories are like, and to read about Greta. I know who she is and as an adult thought I knew her story, but reading this I didnt know about her upbringing!
Cannot wait for my daughters to learn about people of history through these books when they are older.

In my opinion, both adults and children should read the little book about "Greta Thunberg." This is a powerful book to awaken our consciousness in caring and loving our planet. The simple text should be easy enough for children to understand the dire situation they are facing. For the love of our future generations, adults should read "Greta Thunberg" reminding themselves the importance of setting the examples to show the younger generations that we care. Little thing that we do could make positive impacts. I highly recommend this book to everyone and adore the illustrations. A definite good read!

I enjoyed reading this book and think that it done a great job and explaining the origins of greta thunderg passion for the environment in a simple and palatable way. I think the mentioning of her Aspergers and selective mutism was delicately put so that it did not have too much of an impact of the overall story of her, yet is still acknowledged in a way that is easy to understand for the target audience of a younger reader. I really enjoyed the art style that was used in the book, and it was again a wonderful edition to this series of books.

This is another gorgeous book in the Little People, Big Dreams series. My class have shown a real interest in Greta and everything she has done to fight against climate change. This is definitely a book that I could see children enjoying and learning from. It's a lovely book and definitely worth the read!

Accessible biography for younger readers that shows we can make a difference. It also shows that what some people would consider a disability can truly be an asset. Greta’s Aspergers Syndrome helped her speak out about her cause.

This was a cute book to read to my daughter. I think she will enjoy it more as she gets older. It would be worth buying the actual copy.

I really love this series that Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara has going. These non-fiction, children's picture book introductions to famous figures are fabulous!

This time around we learn about Greta Thunberg. This young Swedish girl is a great environmental activist with a sweet story. She's a normal girl who is changing the world! With selective mutism and Asperger's, Greta had a magical super power for being able to focus on and stand up for what she believed in.

This is a great introduction to Greta and is a wonderful source of empowerment! Other young readers can be just like her and change the world.

The biggest issue I have with these books is that I personally don't like the art style. It doesn't sit well with my eyes and it doesn't look very pleasing. It doesn't affect my reading pleasure, but that is my negative!

Four out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

An adorable and insightful look into the life and activism of Greta Thunberg, very interesting to read and good for all ages and audiences.

Thank you to NetGalley for sending me this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is one of my favorite picture book biography series. I have been waiting a long time to read Greta Thunberg. I can't wait to share her story with my students. Over the years, I have introduced my students to all kinds of historical figures and others who have contributed to our world.

MUMMY AND MINI READS...

Greta Thunberg.

Teenager, environmental activist, leader and now the cover star of the latest Little People, Big Dreams series by @quartokids

Quarto publishing have done it again with a fantastic new addition to their inspirational series for young people. What is so brilliant about Greta is that she is a modern day hero that all young people can relate to. The book tells the story of how Greta went from small thinker to powerful influencer from sheer determination and belief in her cause. There is a lesson for all young people here to stand up for what you believe and change can happen.

LIKED: the beautiful illustrations by Anke Weckmann are really engaging and provide excellent talking points with your young readers. I also like the timeline at the end to clearly depict how Greta is of our time which I think could really inspire readers to join in her cause.

DISLIKED: nothing! I love it!

MUMMY RATES: 🧃🧃🧃🧃🧃. A great read for primary age children to understand all about Greta and climate change.

Thank you to @netgalley and @quartokids for the free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I think I could also use it at KS3 as a conversation starter around inspirational people and our responsibility for the planet. Loads of activities that could be done in the classroom using this as a springboard.

I give this an extra 👩‍🎓👩‍🎓👩‍🎓👩‍🎓👩‍🎓 for use in education.

I loved this, great to see these branching out into future legends, although Greta is a current legend too, I’m sure she will have far more ahead of her. Another wonderful contribution to these simply beautiful books, should be required purchases for all schools


Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

I love the Little People, Big Dreams series and this gem is no different. It describes the life of Greta Thunberg in an easily accessible way for Foundation Stage and KS1 children to engage with.

As with the rest of the books in the series, it is a simplified biography of Greta starting with her childhood and celebrating her most notable achievements. The book is engaging with beautiful and colourful illustrations. Another great addition to the series.

This was a quick read about a young girl who is trying to change the world by raising awareness about global warming. This true story is a great way for young people to learn that they can make a difference too, but the illustrations weren’t really my style, and I don’t think they would catch my daughter’s eye.

The best way to teach kids is to keep them engaged. This short book tells not only Greta's story but the importance of climate change and thoughtful living, with simple yet fun illustrations accompanying it. A fantastic way to learn a little and have a great time while doing so.

I really enjoy this series, showing different famous people to children in the form of picture books! I also really love the art-style in this book, and it seems like it was really inspired by Scandinavian children's books. This is really informative and well made!
