Greta and the Giants: inspired by Greta Thunberg's stand to save the world

Greta and the Giants is a sensitively written and beautifully illustrated story for young readers by Zoë Tucker and Zoe Persico. Due out 19th Nov 2019 from Quarto on their Frances Lincoln Children's imprint, it has 32 pages and will be available in hardcover and ebook formats (ebook available now).

This is a sweet allegorical story with an accessible and appealing (and positive) message for children and their caregivers. I hope the positivity and denouement of the book version of Greta's mission has an equally good outcome in our real world. The story would make a superlative book discussion or circle read in a classroom, library, or home setting. There are discussion prompts and further reading links included in the back of the book.

The illustrations are lush, colorful, and well rendered. There are all kinds of small details which will encourage lingering over the illustrations and finding different details. It would make a good bedtime story selection as well.

Well done, quite beautiful and uplifting.

Five stars.
