Learn the story of TIME PERSON OF THE YEAR Greta Thunberg, the
sixteen-year-old climate activist who has sparked a worldwide
student movent and is demanding action from world leaders who
refuse to address climate change-from acclaimed picture book
creator Jeanette Winter. I don't want you to be hopeful. I want you
to panic...I want you to act as if our house is on fire. Because it
is. When she was fifteen years old, Greta Thunberg's teacher
explained to her class that our climate is changing-the earth is
getting warmer, the polar ice caps are melting, and life on earth
is threatened. Greta was devastated. What could she do? If the
grown-ups weren't doing enough to save the planet, Greta would have
to demand change herself. So she went on strike, skipping school
every Friday to sit outside of the Swedish Parliament building with
a sign that read "School Strike for Climate." At first, Greta was
the only one. But gradually, more and more students joined her,
until her lone protest had sparked a worldwide student movement for
action on climate change. Now, a year later, Greta is speaking to
audiences of world leaders at important meetings like the United
Nations Climate Conference and the World Economic Forum. She is
leading the conversation on climate change and sparking worldwide
conversation on how to save our planet. Greta is showing everyone
that even the smallest person can make a big difference, and this
picture book informs and inspires young readers who are beginning
to learn about the world around them.
