DOWNLOAD EBOOK →"A must-read ecological message of hope . . . Everyone with an interest in the future of this planet should read this book." --David Mitchell, The Guardian When climate activist Greta Thunberg was eleven, her parents Malena and Svante, and her little sister Beata, were facing a crisis in their own home. Greta had stopped eating and speaking, and her mother and father had reconfigured their lives to care for her. Desperate and searching for answers, her parents discovered what was at the heart of Greta’s distress: her imperiled future on a rapidly heating planet. Steered by Greta’s determination to understand the truth and generate change, they began to see the deep connections between their own suffering and the planet’s. Written by a remarkable family and told through the voice of an iconoclastic mother, Our House Is on Fire is the story of how they fought their problems at home by taking global action. And it is the story of how Greta decided to go on strike from school, igniting a worldwide rebellion.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This inspiring picture book retells the story of Nobel Peace Prize nominee Greta Thunberg—the Swedish teenager who has led a global movement to raise awareness about the world’s climate crisis—using allegory to make this important topic accessible to young children. Greta is a little girl who lives in a beautiful forest threatened by Giants. When the Giants first came to the forest, they chopped down trees to make houses. Then they chopped down more trees and made even bigger homes. The houses grew into towns and the towns grew into cities, until now there is hardly any forest left. Greta knows she has to help the animals who live in the forest, but how? Luckily, Greta has an idea… A section at the back explains that, in reality, the fight against the “giants” isn’t over and explains how you can help Greta in her fight.

Many governmental leaders fear that reigning in the industries and lifestyles responsible for warming the planet's atmosphere would severely impact the economies of their nations, leading to job loss, poverty and other ills. In the face of this inaction, Thunberg's activism to combat global warming has ignited a spark-particularly among teens and other young people"--

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Climate activist Greta Thunberg has had a very busy and important month since she arrived in New York by sailboat from England. She has participated in 4 climate strikes. Two in New York, one in Washington DC in front of the White House, and one in Montreal in Canada. She also spoke in two very important places, the US Congress and the United Nations General Assembly. She has also been interviewed several times for television, radio, and newspapers. She is in demand. Greta has become a very important person here in America.This 10,000 word booklet describes her appearances and also describes what climate change means and how it is going to affect everyone. One important part of the booklet is a transcription of her speech to the UN General Assembly for their Climate Summit on Sept 23, 2019. It was an emotional speech. Usually her speeches are not very emotional, but in this one she was angry and sad and trying to shame the global leaders for their climate inactivity. "How dare you!" She really doesn't like when leaders claim to be sympathetic to the cause of the young people, but then do nothing to help. She wants them to walk their talk.President Trump sarcastically called her a very happy young girl with a bright and wonderful future ahead of her. This was after her scathing speech at the UN. She answered Trump on Twitter by changing her profile to say she is a happy, young girl with a bright and wonderful future ahead of her.
