Product Information

Design some signs and posters that you can use to teach people how to stop damaging the environment. Greta and the Giants is an endearing picture book inspired by the environmental activist Greta Thunberg. I love Greta Thunberg and this piece came in very handy when trying to share her thou The illustrations are adorable and will grab both the child's and adult's attention whilst sparking a conversation about climate change and humans' effect on the environment.

Yes, it's a bit too nicely tied up (in real life it's become a lot harder to get the message to be taken seriously). But, it still gives us, as well as our young ones, hope that someday it might be a little better than it was yesterday. And, hopefully our future with be more brighter because of this book. In allegorical tribute to teen eco-activist Greta Thunberg, a child saves a forest from heedless pillagers. Unfortunately, I do not hold out much hope for us, but without hope, we wouldn't even try, so perhaps, in that regard, this is a good book for kids, to show that they can change their fate, even if they can't.LoveReading4Kids exists because books change lives, and buying books through LoveReading4Kids means you get to change the lives of future generations, with 25% of the cover price donated to schools in need.

Your Year 1 / Year 2 class will then choose their favourite word to describe Greta and the Giants and give a short explanation as to why they feel that particular word is best suited for the character. We have created a few different resources which help your class: identify speech, add in inverted commas and try to remember who was speaking when quotes are given. The storytelling here is quite good, given the audience. Greta and the Giants introduces young readers to the concepts of activism, conservation, and climate change action in an easily digestible fashion. The story, while not too complex gets its point across quite succinctly. The giants are so busy building, they didn’t stop to ‘see all the little birds and bugs and butterflies and bears that trembled in the shadows.’ What does ‘biodiversity’ mean? Choose a habitat and make a list of all the animals and plants that might live there.This book was pretty cute. It was a fictionalization of Greta Thunberg's life. Greta realizes that the adults or the giants in her life are ruining the environment, and Greta decides to stand up for the trees. I really enjoyed the illustrations in this book although I kind of wanted more from the story itself. Find out more about Greta Thunberg. Could you write her biography?

Super fast read, perfect for children to show them that it only takes one voice to make a difference. In this activity linked to Greta and the Giants, your class will add the capital letters and full stops into the passages or sentences. All around the forest, animals are worried about their home. Nearby, giants have been chopping down trees in the forest to make space for roads, factories and large houses. The smoke and pollution is destroying the habitat of the animals and its beauty though. The animals turn to Greta for help. Greta Thurnberg, the Swedish teenager who has warned the entire world about climate change, is living in the forest and giants are chopping down the trees and destroying the environment. Greta points out the harm they are doing and, eventually, the giants stop their damage. What's especially reassuring about this book is that, even though the giants are, initially, so destructive, they learn through education and listening that the damage must stop or the consequences will be deadly. We have also included two more resources that show picture sources of Greta Thunberg’s placard ‘ Skolstrejk för klimatet’ and other climate change posters for your class to look at and discuss with you and their peers.

Also a budding author, the first picture book she wrote, Ada Lovelace and the Number-Crunching Machine (September 2019), was described as Inspiring, feminist, and informative in equal parts by Kirkus. This is a really cute picture book inspired by the environmental activist Greta Thunberg. I wish we could have that happy ending too but sadly, people's greed are too strong to care about anything but profit. They don't really think about the future generations and the rest of the living things in the environment. It is painful to think that young children need to know about climate change, but they do. This book, along with some follow up discussion, is a good introduction to a hard topic. This book takes an extraordinary girl and builds her into a picture book which is completely allegorical for what is currently happening in our world. Humans are the giants, destroying the forests, oceans and jungles with our homes, cities and factories. One girl starts a movement to try to stop the giants but it isn't until she gains followers that the giants listen. I will be getting this book for my family and friends because how can you resist a good illustrated inspiring story!
