Un libro de lectura rápida, dirigido a niños y jóvenes y con el fin de dar a conocer, a grandes rasgos, la vida de esta joven activista que ha logrado que poco a poco cada vez más personas hagamos conciencia sobre el peligro que corre nuestro planeta.
Un libro para leer con nuestros hijos, sobrinos, etc.

DNF. Yeah, yeah, I get it, someone likes all that. What I don't get is how a massive tantrum (even a group one) is supposed to save the planet?
No one stops to consider that in 2 years she's gonna be a barely literate adult. Think about it.
And then she'll go join the cohorts of stupid-ish politicians, enriching it all with her own lack of relevant education. Do we really need any more of that?

Greta Thunberg is fifteen years of age, an accomplished speaker addressing Climate Change symposiums, United Nations assemblies and has amassed millions of children, young adults and adults from around the world to reduce our damaging ecological footprints, to demand more from our governments and actively collaborate within our communities for a greener future. An inspiring young woman who is changing our world. This is environmental activist Greta Thunberg and this is her journey.
During an unseasonably warm summer in Stockholm Sweden, Greta created a simple placard and rather than attending school, begun her peaceful protests outside the government chambers in Stockholm with the support of her parents, understanding Greta's passion for the environment and her concerns that our leaders were ignoring the climate change crisis. Each Friday, Greta would sit alone, a young girl within a busy metropolis hoping to draw attention to the environmental cause. Our planet is dying and humanity is to blame. Animals face extinction, water is a precious commodity, plastic is destroying our oceans and marine life and the earth breathes pollution while our governments remain silent.
Recently throughout the world, our youth marched towards a common belief, adults, politicians and leaders have failed our future generations with inaction, the crisis of climate continues to worsen and while countries have pledged to reduce omissions, drastic action needs to be taken. And now.
Greta has lead an extraordinary life in her fifteen years. Diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome and depression, Greta has become a beacon for change and has inspired an environmental movement that reaches communities in the most distant corners of the world. She poses the question, what are you doing to help our environment?
Written in simple and accessible language and sprinkled with charming illustrations, Greta's Story: The Schoolgirl Who Went on Strike to Save the Planet is a wonderful introduction for children and middle grade readers to learn about climate change and the ways in which we can take responsibility to reduce our carbon footprint, through the eyes of a fifteen year old environmental warrior. Compelling reading.

Greta is a vegan, damn it. Not a vegetarian.
Very, very simply written for upper primary and intermediate level, short easy read.
Disappointed in quality and quantity of information but the message is great and I imagine our junior school readers will enjoy it.

Hysteria repackaged as normalcy. The sad story of a pawn used by the powerful to grab more power.

"You are never too small to make a difference."
Overall a short and crisp inspirational read on what a 15 year old can accomplish. It really makes you pause and think, about where you are heading in life and how you too can make an impact.

I am a huge fan of Greta. She is well spoken, and clearly her climate strikes have gotten a lot of people to stand up and speak out against climate change. I wanted to read this book to learn more about her.
The book was ok. It was very simply written (appropriate for elementary and middle school), so easily understood. Some of the writing was a little dry at times, but I really liked hearing about how Greta and her family walked their talk - making many changes in their day to day lives in order to help stop climate change.
Greta has done amazing things and is absolutely a changemaker who can and should go down in history. I would recommend this book to students, along with books and articles about other amazing young people.

First of all Greta Thunberg is a vegan not a vegetarian. Also, the author of the book tried to explain who damages our environment. However, sadly not even a single word about agriculture, especially about meat and dairy industries who are the biggest polluters. Meat and dairy companies are the world’s biggest contributors to climate change, outpacing even the fossil fuel industry. So next time the author should do proper research about environmental impact and climate change, before publishing a book.
I support Greta Thumber, however, this books is quite a poor introduction, because it seems most of the information is collected from online websites.

This is a great book which could be used in upper KS2. The book begins by outlining Greta’s life and the journey she took to becoming a climate activist. This should children that there are many people who are very concerned and want to help save the planet. As well as Greta’s story helping to show the importance of looking after the planet, it also raises awareness of Asperger’s syndrome in a positive way. The end of the book contains a glossary, ways in which you can help the environment yourself and key dates in history related to environmental issues and discussions. These would be very useful to look at alongside work on the environment in science or separately as a way of making children aware of and interesting them in the climate crisis and how they can help. The book also shows a different figure as a powerful and influential person, how teenagers are not often seen. I would definitely have this in an upper KS2 classroom, both for children to look at themselves, particularly the second sections as well as to read as a class.

This review and many more can be found on my blog: Feed Your Fiction Addiction
This non-fiction account of Greta Thunberg’s story teaches kids that they can make a difference in the world, if only they employ some determination and persistence. Kids find Greta inspiring, and the book will drive readers to find ways to preserve the health of our environment—Greta’s passion is sure to rub off on readers once they understand why she feels so strongly that conservation is a task for each and every individual. While Greta’s actions were extreme and some adult readers might take issue with Greta’s extended strike from school, kids will hopefully be inspired to stand up for the earth in smaller ways as well, and they will see that their actions can have impact. The story has been translated from the original Italian and is told somewhat simplistically (it feels like it’s geared toward younger MG readers to me), but it’s a great introduction to an influential teen!

A este libro de di 4,5/5 estrellas.
Comenzaré diciendo que creo que este libro es necesario para TODOS, no solo para niños y jóvenes, sino que también para los adultos. Comencé a leerlo por el reto de The reading rush 2019, me demoré un día por todo el ajetreo pero creo que de una sentada se lee muy fácilmente.
Esta es la historia de Greta, pero no solo de ella, es también la historia del sufrimiento del planeta Tierra. De nuestra gran y única Tierra. Agradezco enormemente el momento en que esta chica sueca de 15 años se conmovió tanto con un video en clases sobre el calentamiento global que fue capaz de sacar la voz, pararse frente al Parlamenteo y exponer ante todo un problema silencioso pero, obviamente, el más preocupante y horroroso de todos: el cambio climático y los efectos de nuestra huella en el mundo. ¿De verdad necesitamos tener todas las luces de la casa encendidas en el día? ¿de verdad vamos a desperdiciar esas gotas de agua por no cerrar bien la llave? ¿de verdad vamos a pretender que el problema no es real y que no existe? ADULTOS Y JÓVENES, ABRAMOS LOS OJOS, GRETA TIENE TODA LA RAZÓN, ESTO ES REAL Y ES AHORA.
Gracias Editorial Planeta Chile por este hermoso e inspirador libro.

Selkeä ja helppolukuinen kirja Greta Thunbergista erityisesti alakouluikäisille. Vähän faktoja sekaisin, esimerkiksi Gretasta puhuttiin kasvissyöjänä eikä vegaanina, mikä on lievästi ärsyttävää - ja Gretasta olisi varmaan vielä enemmän. Aikuiselle turhan simppeli, mutta ymmärrettävästi näin.

This is a great book for teaching children about the climate activist Greta Thunberg and her movement to address climate change. It’s a non-fiction text and unofficial biography that follows Greta’s journey from the beginning. There’s lots of useful facts, a glossary and a timeline for children to look at and use.
I would use the book in an assembly about climate change or modern-day heroes to inspire the children to let their voices be heard about this serious current issue. We would create maps or timelines of her story, consider how she felt when she gave speeches to some of the world’s most influential and important figures and create our own videos to raise awareness and help inspire change.
We would talk about how brave and committed Greta is to her cause, despite suffering from Aspergers, and think about an issue they feel incredibly passionate about. Hopefully, we would also take part in a Fridays for Future school strike.

La biografia, non ufficiale, di Greta, scritta da Valentina Camerini e illustrata da Veronica Carratello, è un breve libro che con parole semplici più spiegare il cambiamento climatico ai bambini. Il libro parte con la biografia di Greta, dall'inizio del suo avvicinamento ai problemi del clima, fino alla decisione di scioperare e i suoi interventi mondiali. In seguito si parla di cambiamento climatico a misura bambino e infine viene rilasciato un glossario con le parole e le espressioni adeguate all'argomento.

It's nice and all but plainly too simple.
Recommendable for a younger audience but it doesn't delve into the problem. We get to know Greta and her journey, which should not be disregarded but there is no deeper mention of the problem itself. No explanations, which is said and a missed opportunity to educate children on climate change and it's consequences.

Este libro tienen que leerlo si o si todo el mundo no solamente los niños y jóvenes aunque dicen que el libro este dirigido para un público en específico todos lean la historia de Greta está mujer una gran activista que no asistía al colegio haciendo manifestaciones para que todo el mundo escuchara hablar sobre el tema del medio ambiente más que todo el calentamiento global un tema donde los políticos casi nunca hablan del planeta, gracias a Greta por todo lo que hizo para que en la actualidad el tema del medio ambiente y el planeta tierra sea algo muy importante para la humanidad.

Me gustó mucho este libro y me pareció muy completo, a pesar de estar destinado a lectores infantiles y juveniles (y yo ya no soy de ese grupo). Además de presentar la historia de Greta y su lucha por el medio ambiente, tiene un glosario de términos y una cronología de diferentes hechos históricos relevantes para la causa del calentamiento global. Lo recomiendo de todas formas para quienes quieran saber más sobre esta líder y la causa que defiende.

A pesar de ser una biografía de su aún corta historia, el texto destaca no solo lo que ha hecho Greta a nivel mundial si no que sus convicciones. Además, con su ejemplo se da pie para enseñar a todas las edades las consecuencias del calentamiento global y algunos consejos para no seguir contribuyendo con ello.

La Historia de Greta es una corta novela que cuenta la vida de Greta Thunberg y su lucha por el medio ambiente. Un relato sincero y sencillo que incluye consejos, un glosario de palabras claves e incluso una pequeña cronología de los eventos claves que contribuyeron en la precaria situación ambiental que hoy vivimos.
Definitivamente una lectura sin límite de edad.

Arviollani en vähättele Gretaa ihmisenä, saatika sitten ilmastonmuutoksen tärkeyttä. Tämä kirja on vaan hyvin turha, enkä rupea säälistä antamaan enempää tähtiä. Kirjassa ei kerrota oikeastaan melkein mitään, mitä en voisi netistä löytää, eikä anneta kamalasti uutta näkökulmaa Gretan elämään. Tosin mitä olisin voinutkaan odottaa "elämänkerralta" joka kertoo lapsesta. Petyin.

Nopea lukuinen kirja. Tämän voisi lukea nuoremmallekkin kansalle ääneen ja lukemisen taitava nuori voi tämän lukea itse. Lapselle ja nuorelle sopivalla tyylillä kirjoitettu kirja niin tärkeästä ja raskaasta asiasta! Aikuinenkin oppi tästä uutta, ja sai pohdittavaa omiin valintoihin, tekoihin ja niiden merkityksiin! 🌍

Hyvää aihetta käsittelevä kirja ja se idea ettei koskaan ole liian pieni toimimaan ja yrittämään oli ehkä se tärkein asia mitä kirjasta sai. Olihan siinä jonkin verran muutakin mutta silti koin sen jäävän hieman vajaaksi. Kirjoittaminen ei ollut kovinkaan sujuvaa vaan jotenkin tönkköä ja hankalasti kulkevaa, kuitenkin ymmärrettävää ja selkeää. Nopea oli ainakin lukea.

Greta Thunberg’ün iklim değişikliğinden endişelenip İsveç Parlamento’sunun önünde grev yapmaya başlamasından herkese ilham veren bir çevre aktivisti olmasına kadar biyografisini anlatıyor. Okurken iklim değişikliği hakkında daha fazla farkındalık kazandırdı bana. En yakın zamanda belgeselini de izlemek istiyorum.

Este libro va dirigido a niños principalmente. Me pareció un buen libro para acercarles el problema de la contaminación mostrando a su vez que no se es demasiado joven para buscar un cambio y con una protagonista chica, toca tres temas en un solo libro muy positivos y que puede ser interesante para los niños.

I’ll start by saying that this isn’t a book only for kids. Yes there are some stuff explained so that children will understand but this book is so much more!! It explains climate change and what Greta has done for us all. It shows that even teenagers can help in so many different ways. I recommend this to anyone because it’s such an important matter and it needs to be discussed more!
