Description
Introduce your brilliant baby to the young climate change activist Greta Thunberg.
Little Naturalists: Greta Thunberg Takes a Stand tells the story of how Greta Thunberg first heard about global warming when she was 8 years old, and how deeply troubled she was by it. At the age of 15, she initiated a school strike, leading protests both in her home country of Sweden and internationally. Her efforts soon saw her speaking to influential bodies such as the World Economic Forum, the British and European parliaments, and the United Nations Climate Action Summit and Conferences.
Throughout her journey, Greta has received many awards for her activism. She has an autism spectrum disorder, known as Aspergerβs syndrome, which she regards as her superpower because it enables her to focus intensely on climate change. Her relentless work towards getting countries to decrease emissions has sparked a global movement, often referred to as the "Greta Effect."
Author Kate Coombsβ engaging narrative, complemented by Seth Lucasβ captivating art, provides young readers with an inspiring introduction to this remarkable conservationist.
