Greta's story - Simon & Schuster, 2019 - 129 pages : illustrations ; 20 cm.

the schoolgirl who went on strike to save the planet : an unofficial biography

Greta's story is about hope, courage and determination. You are never too young to make a difference. It's 20 August 2018, late summer in Stockholm, and it feels incredibly hot in the city. The TV news reports rising temperatures, and there have been numerous fires throughout Sweden. Fifteen-year-old Greta Thunberg decides she can't wait any longer - politicians have to do something to save the environment. Instead of returning to school, Greta takes a placard and goes on strike in front of Sweden's parliament building. Greta's protest began the Fridays for Future - or School Strike 4 Climate - movement. Greta has spoken at COP24, the UN summit on climate change, and has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
