The title of this series is most apt when it comes to Greta who is truly a little person with a big dream; it is one that she fights for. The incomparable Ms. Vegara Sanchez does a wonderful job of telling the story of this young eco activist. Children will be inspired and, hopefully, will see that they can make a difference.
Young readers will learn that Greta had a relative long before her birth who worried about the environment When this concern took hold in Greta, she could not let it go. Readers find out that Greta had elective mutism and Aspergers. Rather than seeing these as bad things, the author points out that these are the very things that have helped Greta to remain true to her resolve to do something about climate change.
The simple text is accompanied with brightly colored and appealing illustrations. Together author and illustrator work together seamlessly in this excellent addition to the excellent series.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.
