Summary
  • Highlights the life and accomplishments of the Swedish teenage environmental activist who started the student movement to combat climate change and led a worldwide children's march to challenge world leaders to act on the issue
  • "Ever since she learned about climate change, Greta Thunberg couldn't understand why politicians weren't treating it as an emergency. In August 2018, temperatures in Sweden reached record highs, fires raged across the country, and fifteen-year-old Greta decided to stop waiting for political leaders to take action."--Publisher marketing
  • "In legislatures all over the world, ten of thousands of serious-looking and stern-sounding politicians sat and discussed an endless range of issues. But they never addressed the problem of the health of the planet. It was time for someone to remind them to step in to protect the environment--and the future of children all over the world. It was an emergency. Everything else could wait. So Greta made a sign, put on her jacket, and went on strike."--Back cover of dust jacket
