I recently picked this up when I went to my local bookstore as I enjoy reading short and quick books but also because I am fascinated by Greta's story. I read her book; No one is too small to make a difference' last year and was shocked at how passionate she is. This isn't written by her, but talks about her story and journey for saving the environment. I wish I read this book before the other as I felt I would've had a more clear understanding of what she mentioned.

I am constantly blown away by Greta's achievements and passion for saving the planet which is clearly shown throughout. I especially like how there is a section at the back which includes 11 changes that you can make as well as articles and how to talk to your children about the environment in a way that is age appropriate.

I highly recommend reading this and will definitely pick up more books that I see about Greta but also more environmental books to educate myself more and make the changes that I need too.

This was read for my 'read a book that starts with the word 'the' and 'read a book with a cover that matches the colour of your birthstone' challenge for The Reading Rush 2020.

This is not even written by Greta Thunberg. In the German translation it said that she “suffers“ from Asperger’s, although she denied this phrasing in an interview! Of course I support Greta‘s claim for climate justice, but I do not like this book. I know that it’s a children‘s book, still it could benefit from a more accurate writing style.

Not bad, but not the best biographical work on Greta or the movement.

No ets massa petit per fer coses grans! Es la biografía no oficial de Greta Thunberg escrita por Valentina Camerini. En este, la autora nos narra la vida de Greta y como esta empezó con su iniciativa de Skolstrejk för klimatet traducido al español como Huelga escolar por el clima.


Des de mi propia experiencia leyendo el libro, creo que la forma en la que está estructurado es bastante buena, aunque quizá en ciertos puntos me resultó confuso porque hacía saltos en el tiempo (pasado) sin previo aviso. Aun así, el libro está explicado de manera muy sencilla, el vocabulario y la sintaxis empleada es de fácil comprensión y se nota que está enfocado a un público de pequeña edad, por esta razón creo que el libro se puede leer en muy poco tiempo pues no es demasiado largo. Cabe destacar que la edición también es preciosa y la estética de las ilustraciones lo hacen muy atractivo, pero quizá me esperaba que el libro se adentrara más en el problema del cambio climático y no en Greta y su iniciativa. Aun así, visto al público al que va dirigido, lo encuentro muy correcto y suficiente.



Algo que también me ha gustado mucho es el contenido que incluye al final de este, pues vuelve a explicar de forma muy resumida y para niños que es el calentamiento global, aporta soluciones para que juntos colaboremos para intentar evitar que suceda, un glosario e incluso una cronología de hechos que han marcado la historia de la humanidad junto con más fuentes de información para consultar si quieres aprender más sobre el tema, así que en este aspecto me parece muy completo.



En resumen, me parece un libro sencillo pero adecuado para un público de pequeña edad, además creo que cumple muy bien la función de informar y proporcionar herramientas para cambiar y, mejorar como personas. Por esta razón le otorgo un valor de cuatro estrellas.

This is a great book which could be used in upper KS2. The book begins by outlining Greta’s life and the journey she took to becoming a climate activist. This should children that there are many people who are very concerned and want to help save the planet. As well as Greta’s story helping to show the importance of looking after the planet, it also raises awareness of Asperger’s syndrome in a positive way. The end of the book contains a glossary, ways in which you can help the environment yourself and key dates in history related to environmental issues and discussions. These would be very useful to look at alongside work on the environment in science or separately as a way of making children aware of and interesting them in the climate crisis and how they can help. The book also shows a different figure as a powerful and influential person, how teenagers are not often seen. I would definitely have this in an upper KS2 classroom, both for children to look at themselves, particularly the second sections as well as to read as a class.
