Greta and the Giants: Inspired by Greta Thunberg's Stand to Save the World by Zoë Tucker
4.0
I love some Greta Thunberg. I love to hear to tell it to world leaders as it is.
This is told like a little bit of a fairytale. Greta lives in a forest and the animals are being wiped out by giants who have built cities and factories and are killing everything. Greta isn’t scared and she stands up to them by protesting. It’s a lovely story, because in this one, the giants actually listen to the kids and make changes and save the world unlike the real world where they listen to her and ignore her and go about their business, at least some of them.
I think it’s makes the idea of Climate change easier to understand as an allegory like this. There is a 2 page spread at the end about Climate Change and the real Greta Thunberg. It also shows this as a collective problem that we all need to band together to solve. I think it’s well done and I like the cartoony artwork used. Greta is very cute here.
The nephew enjoyed all the critters in the book. It wasn’t really funny and not so monstery, although, the giants were somewhat monsters, but he didn’t count them. He gave this 3 stars and wanted something with more action. I need to get something just for him soon. I’ll have to look for it. Ninjas or lord help me, video games.
