This inspiring picture book retells the story of Nobel Peace Prize nominee Greta Thunberg - the Swedish teenager who has led a global movement to raise awareness about the world’s climate crisis - using allegory to make this important topic accessible to young children.

Greta and the Giants is a lovely book. I have to admit that the first thing that drew me to the book were the colors and art style. I absolutely love the illustrations and bold colors that are used. I found myself paying more attention to the artwork and the details in it that the story during my first read through. In the first part of the book the text is almost lost in the corners, and easy to overlook. Once I slowed down and read the text I enjoyed the story, I only wish the giants in the real world were that easy to reach. The story is reminiscent of The Lorax for me, and I do not mean that in a bad way. My daughter loved The Lorax, and I could recite it for years after she stopped asking for it. The message that protecting nature is good, and that even if we are small and often overlooked we can effect change is something I have not problem telling and retelling. I liked that the story showed that we often have to come together just to get the attention necessary to be heard, but that it can be done. I love that the book included information in accessible terms about what is happening, and how anyone and everyone can do something to help not matter how small. I really enjoy the book as a whole and hope that it will reach the children (and adults) that need to hear the message. In the book there is a happy end as the giants realize they have been causing damage to the nature by their careless expansion of factories. They completely change their lifestyle and gradually replant the forest to make it even more beautiful than it was before. In real life... we can and should make a diffrence. At the end of the book there are a few suggestions: learn and become more aware of what is happening, ask your caretakers/teacher help you get to a protest or write to politicians and decision-makers, use public transport and persuade your family to take a good look at your carbon print. Every little thing helps and if we start teachingour children that their opinion and their actions matter, perhaps there is a hope for us. This is the story of Greta Thunberg adapted for younger readers with analogies that would help them understand the Strike for Climate movement. Greta and the Giants is a delightful children's book that's filled with vivid illustrations and a very empowering message. Much like the real-life Greta, no one is too young or too small to make a difference in the world. As long as someone is willing to try very hard and has a lot of passion about a specific topic, they can get others to notice them.

Yes, it's a bit too nicely tied up (in real life it's become a lot harder to get the message to be taken seriously). But, it still gives us, as well as our young ones, hope that someday it might be a little better than it was yesterday. And, hopefully our future with be more brighter because of this book.

Beautiful art accompanies this story that tells about Greta Thunberg and climate change in an easy to understand fable about a little girl trying to protect her forest from greedy giants who are destroying it. The story is really uplifting and has a happy ending that I wish was happening with our own "giants" right now, but it ends with a little blurb telling that in real life we are still fighting the giants in this issue. It also tells how kids can help in small ways that really do help, just as Greta did. This is a gorgeous, well written book that does an excellent job of showing who Greta is and what she's trying to do in an accessible, enjoyable story for children. The animals went to Greta and asked her to help. Greta made a sign that said "stop". The giants continued to pass by not noticing Greta, but then others joined her with their own signs. The crowd eventually got bigger and bigger, and the giants noticed.Greta lives in the heart of the forest along with all the animals. One day, the animals approach her for help, scared that the greedy Giants are ruining their home. They chop down trees to build bigger and bigger homes, ignoring the beauty and habitat of the forest, preferring to build sprawling cities to accommodate their Giant needs. Greta decides to start a protest, asking the Giants to stop. At first, she is ignored, but then people join her protest and eventually the Giant's are forced to listen. Embarrassed and ashamed, they realise that their actions have been ruining the forest. They put their greed aside and start appreciating the forest again, allowing it to return to its original beauty. In allegorical tribute to teen eco-activist Greta Thunberg, a child saves a forest from heedless pillagers.

Super fast read, perfect for children to show them that it only takes one voice to make a difference. Pete the badger likes to keep everything neat and tidy, but his over-zealous cleaning begins to have a damaging impact on the forest. This entertaining picture book, with its rich illustrations, carries an important environmental message.This inspiring picture book retells the story of Greta Thunberg, the Swedish teenager who has led a global movement to raise awareness about the world's climate crisis. This picture book makes this important topic accessible to young children. I love Greta Thunberg and this piece came in very handy when trying to share her thoughts and actions with children in KS2. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy of this title in exchange for an honest review,

This is a really cute picture book inspired by the environmental activist Greta Thunberg. I wish we could have that happy ending too but sadly, people's greed are too strong to care about anything but profit. They don't really think about the future generations and the rest of the living things in the environment.I like Greta as a character as she shows everyone that even if you are small you can still stand up against the giants if it's something you believe in and want a chance to make a change. The information and tips at the end are perfect to get children looking further into climate change and a nice way to end the book. This is a lovely book. It shows a great metaphor for the current political climate in regards to climate change. While over simplified, it is a way to explain tp young children what is going on and gives them tools to get involved. The book does tell the person it is based on so children will also have a real face to the fantasy version. Blind capitalism and greet of humans is destroying environment to the extent that is directly coming to a situation where; whole biomass is at risk. The illustrations are lush, colorful, and well rendered. There are all kinds of small details which will encourage lingering over the illustrations and finding different details. It would make a good bedtime story selection as well.
