've adored Greta Thunberg (the 'h' is silent) ever since I first heard about her, and this book tells a fine and inspiring story of the difference a lone young girl can make if she has a cause and some determination.

At the age of fifteen - just two short years ago - and after learning about the sad state of the environment, Greta began a lone vigil outside the Swedish parliament with a sign, 'Skolstrejk för klimatet' (School strike for climate), and her vigil caught on, becoming a major movement.

She reached a point of notoriety where she was able to cross the Atlantic on wind and solar-powered boats (she refuses to fly because of climate impact) and speak to world leaders about how climate change was going to impact hers and future generations.

This book is a great introduction to what one person can do and to what might happen if we all don't do something. I commend it as a worthy read.

Another great addition to the collection. Definitely wished there was more background to the story, but was still super enjoyable to read.

This book is simply beautiful for both adults and children. The illustrations are some of the most vibrant in the Little People Big Dreams series. The themes of climate change and disability were unique themes which I have yet to encounter in any of the other books in the series and my 5 year old absolutely loved these. This book was probably his favourite so far and I would recommend it to all ages!

Biographies are an important genre for children. As a teacher, I see children motivated by reading about people they admire. I cannot think of a better biography to motivate a child, than a biography about a child who sparked change.

This book is crafted to bring the reader along with Greta, to understand where she first found her passion for the environment, and to empathize with her as she cannot "let it go" and move on like the other children. The sentences that carry the reader through the many impressive choices and action of Greta are clear, direct, and packed with details. This biography would be a great book for any educator looking for a text to model questioning as a reading strategy! The text will inspire kids to read more about Greta, and provides the resources for where to go next to be able to learn more after reading the backmatter.

If there is one thing I wish this book had, it is more back matter. I wish the book gave more information for how children could participate in Greta's cause. What can they do to continue to move the fight for a brighter, greener future? However, any reader wondering that question is likely to find more resources and look for ways on their own. How could they not after seeing that with persistence and follow through, kids like Greta can and do make a difference.

A lovely and inspiring book about Greta Thunberg and actions children can take to fight climate change! It gives a succinct summary of her life. This is one of my favorites in this series!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

Another great "Little People, BIG DREAMS" book and what a treat it was! Beautifully illustrated, easy to read and a joy to behold - I absolutely recommend to get a printed hardback! A treat for a child (or an adult!). This one is very important because in just a few sentences it introduces a topic of climate change and what is happening to our planet. An essential discussion to have with your children.

With thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a copy of the book for free in exchange for a fair review.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I love this series. It inspires me, as a 28 year old woman, to change the world. And this book is no exception. Gretas story is powerful because she is so young and driven to see the earth made better. A powerful and empowering and timely message!

I can't say it enough, I love the Little People, Big Dreams series. This is one of my favourites in this series for a couple of reasons. I love that this is timely and is taking place now. Also that this young girl has autism, showing that anyone can do great things. There is a brief description of Greta's family and home-life, but most of the book deals with her reaction to climate change and what she does about it. I am angered at the way she has been treated and demeaned by a certain head of a country, but that is not in this book. It is a very simple telling of what she is doing and how other children have joined in to try and help our world now and for the future. I love the quirky, yet attractive illustrations in this book, they make it fun to look at, while sharing an important message, ordinary children, doing extraordinary things. These short, non-fiction books include a short story of how these amazing people began life and pursued their dreams. There is a short biography, photographs and timeline at the end of the book to add to what the reader learns in the story. As always, I recommend this series to libraries, both public and school.

I love the little people, big dreams books. They are well written, tell a delightful true story in an age appropriate way and have beautiful illustrations.

This is a delightful book from this series as it is telling a modern day story. I am so impressed with Greta and her commitment to our world. This story is inspiring and will help all children see themselves in the story of this modern day hero! I recommend this and all of the books in this series for anyone who reads to children!

The publisher made a copy of this book available on Netgalley. The thoughts and opinions here are my honest review.

I finded this book cute for kids and very informative making this book perfect for a child. The vocabulary is perfect no so complex and not so simple making kids learn more words.

Unfortunately I no longer have the right program to download and read protected pdfs. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Who doesn't love Greta Thunberg?
I am so inspired by her and how dedicated she is to save our planet.
I have read about her before, and this book is a great great summary to know who Greta is, her background and what she has done in these past years. It is a great book to be introduced to any kids out there. It would be fun to read since it is beautifully illustrated.
So, if you need a stocking filler this Christmas or someone's kids birthday or just a little random gift to your friend's kids, consider this book as your option :)

A modern addition to this classic series. It was so lovely to learn about Greta's family history is climate change and how it shaped her actions. Perfect to start a discussion with young children about climate change and taking action on what you believe in.

This is a story of Greta Thunberg, a child activist that has brought worldwide attention to global warming. The story was short and to the point. And while it had tidbits of her life I feel like there were important chunks of information missing and that the story was rushed through. The illustrations are wonderful.

This beautifully illustrated book tells the story of Greta Thunberg and her climate strikes in a way that kids will grasp easily.

Another excellent book for this excellent collection that I have been reading from the beginning. I really think these books should be mandatory reading for kindergarten students!

An extremely interesting insight into not only Greta's legacy but her origins too, An important message for all youth.

Greta Thunberg, born in Sweden, learned at a young age that it is important to protect the environment. She was diagnosed with selective mutism and Aspergers Syndrome. She only spoke about things that were very important to her. The environment fit that description. This gave her the platform to speak out against global warming. She peacefully protested outside the Swedish Parliament and inspired other children to form peaceful protests for the environment.

This book describes Greta Thunberg’s life in detail, but in easily understood language for children. The illustrations are well done.

As an educator, I would recommend this book to children to see that they can do big things. Everyone can make a difference.

Thank you to the Quarto Group and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Goodreads Review-Thank you, Net Galley, for a copy of this book.

Little People, Big Dreams, is my new favorite series. The illustrations are captivating, the text is clear and compelling, and the notes at the end show real pictures and flesh out the individual a bit more. Greta Thunberg is amazing. Her commitment to championing our planet and declaring her superpower of Asperger as what enables her to unwaveringly focus on saving our planet inspires me tremendously. This is a phenomenal book, a fantastic series, and a hero for all generations.

This was another I throughly enjoyed. It was fun to read about someone who is still alive and still able to make changes in the world.
I personally find what I know about Greta to be very inspirational and the fact that she's a young individual makes it all the more impactful, when fully grown adults aren't or won't grasp the importance of our planet, it's stability and it's ability or struggle to flourish.
