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.

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.

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

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!

'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.

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!
