Greta and the Giants

Item 9780711253773
Sale price$19.99
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 is a little girl who lives in a beautiful forest threatened by Giants. When the Giants first came to the forest, they chopped down trees to make houses. Then they chopped down more trees and made even bigger homes. The houses grew into towns and the towns grew into cities, until now there is hardly any forest left. Greta knows she has to help the animals who live in the forest, but how? Luckily, Greta has an idea…
 
A section at the back explains that, in reality, the fight against the “giants” isn’t over and explains how you can help Greta in her fight.

Excellent!

"Asked by the animals of the forest to help them to defeat the greedy who were destroying forests and ruining the air. She pondered the problem and started to make her ideas known. Soon others who agreed that the problems could be made known without violence joined her. And together they proved that "No one is too small to make a difference. " It's a good reminder to keep up the good work that Greta started. The illustrations by Zoe Persico are fun, tinged with a bit of whimsey, colorful, and delightful. Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or your public library! I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books via NetGalley. Thank you! I bought one for granddaughter, too."

New Family Fav

"This book was so cute and engaged the whole family. My husband recognized the story and its characters, while my children listened and immediately took up the defense of the forest like Greta. The inclusions in the back talking about the reality that this book was based on, as well as giving some ideas on how we can help, were perfect for striking up a conversation afterward. We fully intend on purchasing a physical copy to have for often re-reads in the future. Kids rating: 5⭐ Educational? ✅ Relatable characters? ✅ Engaging story? ✅ Beautiful illustrations? ✅"

A heartwarming story inspired by Greta Thunberg

"Greta and the Giants is the heartwarming story of a girl who saves the forest. It was inspired by Greta Thunberg and has all of the same heart that she has shown towards the well-being of our planet, with peaceful protest and a happy ending. Greta lives peacefully in the forest with her animal friends, until one day they ask her for help. They tell her that the giants are ruining the forest and their homes, so Greta makes a sign and proceeds to peacefully protest until others join in and the giants finally take notice. This sweet story is gorgeously illustrated and filled with amazing woodland creatures and plant life. There is lots of color and depth and texture but I especially loved the animals and diverse human characters that come together peacefully to make a change. This story really hits me in the feels every time I read it. Whether you appreciate Greta Thunberg or not, this is an amazing story about a girl who wants to make a difference in the world. There is a little bit of extra information about Greta Thunberg at the end of the story but also a little more about how anyone can make a difference!"
