This inspiring picture book retells the story of Nobel Peace Prize
nominee Greta Thunberg - the Swedish teenager who has led a global
movement to raise awareness about the world's climate crisis -
using allegory to make this important topic accessible to young
children. Greta is a little girl who lives in a beautiful forest
threatened by Giants. When the Giants first came to the forest,
they chopped down trees to make houses. Then they chopped down more
trees and made even bigger homes. The houses grew into towns and
the towns grew into cities, until now there is hardly any forest
left. Greta knows she has to help the animals who live in the
forest, but how? Luckily, Greta has an idea... A section at the
back explains that, in reality, the fight against the 'giants'
isn't over and explains how you can help Greta in her fight. This
book has been printed sustainably in the UK on 100% recycled paper.

. . . "I am Nefertiti!" she whispers to herself. Drawing on her
inner strength and with the support of the other children, they
help Miss Potts recognise the importance of honouring Nefertiti's
name. Now, when Nefertiti keeps the beat, the music sounds so
