Product Information

The beautiful full-page immersive spreads for children to explore is enhanced by carefully crafted brief text.

The houses grew into towns, and the towns grew into cities until now there is hardly any forest left. A fitting farewell, still funny, acute, and positive in its view of human nature even in its 37th episode.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. If only the real giants would be as easy to convince to take responsibility and help the environment.

So, as we start reading this book, I know it's about a girl named Greta and some giants because the title told me so. In allegorical tribute to teen eco-activist Greta Thunberg, a child saves a forest from heedless pillagers. Problems are afoot at Emily Dickinson Elementary School, and it’s up to Bea Garcia to gather the troops and fight. This is a story of how one person can help create change, and working together for the benefit of everyone. Although the story is more fantastical then realistic, it is really uplifting and has a happy ending.It really was done nicely, with well placed information about our global crisis in the back of the book, as well as really great illustrations. We have created a few different resources which help your class: identify speech, add in inverted commas and try to remember who was speaking when quotes are given.
