About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels overwhelmed by the news or believes they are too young to make a difference in the world. It is also an excellent choice for neurodivergent children who may feel like their differences are obstacles rather than strengths. This biography follows Greta Thunberg from a quiet, concerned student in Sweden to a global leader in the fight against climate change. It introduces her autism diagnosis not as a deficit, but as a superpower that allowed her to focus intensely on finding solutions for the planet. While the book addresses the serious topic of climate change, it remains accessible and empowering for the 8 to 12 age group. It emphasizes the importance of standing up for one's beliefs, even when standing alone. Through Greta's journey, parents can help their children process environmental anxiety and transform it into a sense of agency and purpose. It is a secular, fact-based narrative that celebrates bravery, logic, and the impact of the youth voice.
