Greta and the Giants: Inspired by Greta Thunberg's Stand to Save the World Greta and the Giants, authored by Zoe Tucker and illustrated by Zoe Persico, is a 32 page story for children age 4 7 about environmental awareness and human activities that prompt climate change. The book's engaging message is well told and the illustrations are beautiful. The book is available in hardcover ($8.60) and paperback ($11.89) versions. This is a book that will be read again and again, so I advise purchasing the hardcover, which is also a better bargain. Although the storyline is inspired by the young, Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, the book is not authorized, licensed, or approved by her. Greta likes to spend her time in the forest. One day, she is approached by her woodland friends who seek her help to convince the Giants reread as humans disregarding activities that prompt both climate change and environmental destruction to change their behaviors. Greta singlehandedly sets out on a quest to persuade the Giants to change and is eventually joined by her forest friends and a large crowd of people who feel as she does. They activists tell the Giants how their behavior has negatively affected the earth and the living things that inhabit it. The Giants later apologize for their activities and agree to be environmentally aware. The book concludes with an age appropriate essay about climate change and a list of things youngsters can do to preserve the environment and its inhabitants. Web links direct readers to further information. Highly recommended.
