I thought this was a great middle grade non fiction about climate change. Greta is truly an inspiration for all. Not just children her own age. She can teach people of all ages about dangers and importance of climate change and what we can do to change and do everything different.

I found this illustrated novel to be super informative and I loved the art style of these photos. Greta Thunberg has fast become an icon in the fight for climate change and I definitely enjoyed reading this.

This is a quick and concise guide that provides a comprehensive look at climate change. It was really interesting to see the ways every person can make a change and I will definitely be taking on board a lot of the ideas! I would definitely recommend reading this highly informative book that concentrates on such an important issue!

This is the latest in a long line of books about climate change that I've read recently. I think it used illustration really well (as seen on the cover) but also the information inside is not too overwhelming for young readers. The information regarding global warming and the climate crisis is damning evidence that we should be doing more, but this book provides solutions that we should all be doing.

Overall this would be a good way to introduce children to the topic and I enjoyed it.

3 out of 5 stars!

I was really excited to read and review this book for somewhat obvious reasons. However I must admit this book wasn't as good as I had expected. Though very informative and educational, I felt that for a book aimed at children this book was a little too much. There was sometimes too much information and text overwhelmed what could have been a light inspirational read.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for this ARC.

A topic that we all need to understand and get behind brought together in a very informative and cohesive way.

I really enjoyed the visual aspects presented alongside the facts to continually engage the reader on such a tricky subject. Would recommend.

I had high hopes for this book, especially after seeing such positive feedback for it already on Goodreads. I have always been big on being green and protecting the planet even in primary school. And yet this book was lacking any actual information. It felt like each little two-page chapter was an introduction to an essay - outlining what they want to tell us but never actually telling it. It was a lot of words with little substance and the odd big technical word to make it sound like it was actually informing the reader without actually doing so. It had potential and each of the 'introduction' style chapters could have expanded into something which actually helped with the global crisis we face but it never managed to do so.

A brilliant little book that brings together facts, figures, information and content that is so relevant to the climate change issue that so urgently faces us.

It is presented in a visually beautiful way and is an excellent addition to any library. I'll certainly be getting multiple copies for my library.

An amazing resource for sustainability, climate change, what young people can do to take action, all in a more accessible for teens, all in once place, method

Another timely, yet timeless book about the fearlessly, inspirational Swedish teenage activist and Nobel Peace Prize candidate Greta Thunberg. Through in-depth text, bold illustrations, data charts and infographics, Valentina Giannella skilfully sets out the basic ideas required to understand and tackle climate change in an accesible yet scientific way.

A critical book for every school, library and bedroom bookcase.

Valentina Giannella's We Are All Greta is a moving, informative, beautifully-illustrated book that is certain to kickstart the flutterings of change in the hearts of the young (and maybe even the not-so-young). Focussing on the extraordinary work of the 16-year-old Swedish climate change activist, Greta Thunberg, it disseminates a plethora of facts in easily-accessible terms and charts the rise of one teenage girl in her quest to save the world. Over the years, a lot of us have fallen victim to the logic that, even if you really, really want to, a single person can not change the world - but Greta, and the empowering way that Giannella writes about her, clearly shows that that long-parroted rhetoric is far from the truth. Because, one person can make a difference. If you look closely, you will see that they already are.
The short (but insanely impactful!) book illustrates this point through its eye-catching use of infographics and its quick, simple guides to preventing further climate change. Strength comes from knowledge like this; from equipping yourself with the weapons that you need to survive and to thrive. And hope fills my heart when I think that so many young people are seeking out this strength for themselves; that they are pressing this book into each other's palms; that they are ready to step up and make a difference. Because, after-all, there is no Planet B.

The perfect book and gift for someone in your life this christmas. Whether that be an adult who has joined the fight or a teen who you wish to inspire. It’s sincere look at the movement Greta has started will humble and compel anyone that reads it.

I am amazed by this book. Honestly, I didn't expect to enjoy it so much. And the information is accompanied by beautiful illustrations that make this book incredible.
"We are all Greta" is a book that we should all read, and should be mandatory in schools. I didn't know all that information related to global warming. I found it very interesting what other countries are doing to save our planet. Greta inspires.
The book gives facts, statistics, consequences, reflections, consequences, but most importantly, ways in which we can help the Earth.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher, for providing me with a free e-book for review. This is one awesome way of following the thought of help in climate change - no printed book and free access to the knowledge for everyone, who wants it.

A very nice short book, explaining the basics of climate change, its main causes and adding some advice on what can be done to fight climate change in big and small scale. The explanations are basic, as already mentioned, but this way a great start for everyone who hasn't yet looked that much into the topic, maybe didn't have the right education at school and no time for own research.
Also, I noticed that there are two versions of the book, UK and US, so that everyone can read the edition according to their preferred system of units.

As a hook, there's also some information on Greta, how she came to be what she is today and some of her famous speech lines.

I'd say it's a great start for discussions with people that are denying climate change and talking about the subject, as it gives you easy facts on hand that you can use to argument in such a talk.

A great and informative book about what we could all do to fight climate change and global warming.

I decided to read this book to educate myself more and to be capable of understanding the current situation and the protests. I found the book very insightful and scientifically exhausting,yet very accessible and easy to follow.

I loved the fact that chapters are short yet very rich of information.This book is not only for children and young adult but also a great resource for adults and parents.

Thanks to the publisher and to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange of my honest review.

What a great little book. It's not too long, but long enough that it gets the important ideas across. I think everyone should read it, especially those who either A) don't believe in climate change even though it's a scientifically proven fact, or B) find the whole ordeal complicated and too sciencey. This book breaks it down into easy chunks that anyone could understand. It's really fascinating how one girl can inspire so many, in such a short period of time. This is what the world needs in order to take things seriously. And yes, there are always going to be those that talk young people down, or don't believe in climate change at all, but if we can shift the balance so that those who care and have passion outweigh the others, it will not matter. Coming from a place in Canada where the vast majority of our industry is based upon the extraction and usage of fossil fuels, causes like this I have a great amount of passion for, even in the communities I grew up in. We are all Greta, and we can all do our part.

We Are All Greta is a great book that teaches about the causes of climate change and what we as stewards of the planet can do to take care of our home. The book is thorough in its exploration of the science behind climate change and its solutions without being overwhelming and the visuals are bold and vibrant. The book has a hopeful tone and is suitable for late elementary school kids and beyond. Adults are sure to learn a thing or two as well! Highly recommend for purchase.

Thanks to the publishers for sharing this one. It's a great book and I hope it will inspire a lot of people. One criticism- Asperger's is described as "a mild form of autism that does not interfere with learning or language". That is very misleading and inaccurate. Aspterger's absolutely does interfere with learning and language, in a lot of ways. Difficulties with verbal and non verbal communication are part of the diagnostic criteria for autism. Also, be careful with describing anyone's autism as "mild". A lot of autistic people (myself included) don't like functioning labels. They're about how other people experience our autism, not how we experience it ourselves.

Thank you so much NetGallery for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book starts by giving you a little background on Greta Thunberg, including her family and how she came to be, in my opinion anyway, the voice for climate change. I particularly liked that it mentioned her Asperger's Syndrome as, I think it could be reassuring and helpful for children reading who face similar barriers/challenges.

The chapters in this book were short, only 3 or four pages on each topic which I enjoyed as it meant the information was concise and to the point, helping to keep interest. Within each chapter the issues which can often be difficult to understand were broken down in easy, simple language. Each chapter highlights the issue regarding that topic e.g. plastic, what will happen if change isn't made and what could be done to help. This again was a really easy format to follow and gave you as the reader a good insight into the issue before reassuring you with what you could do.

"No man is an island. Everything we do, even the smallest gesture can make a difference." p115

The second to last chapter gives you ten small things (which could make a big difference) that everyone or anyone can do to help to bring about change. I think that this was a really good way to end the book which could bring so much despair by leaving you the reader with some hope and a way to fight. 

"In essence, it means starting to think in terms of what will bring benefit to all, not just individuals." p93

All in all I think this is a great book that could be enjoyed by a range of children and adults. Those who are just dipping their toes into the climate change movement or those who want to gain a bit more information. It is simple yet informative and the final chapter gives definitions of words and key terms, useful websites and a list of references, all of which would be very useful for further research or helping you to understand more. The teacher inside me is thinking how great it would be to use in class, especially if you were doing a 'No Planet B' or similar topic as each chapter could be a focus for a lesson. I also really liked the simple yet effective illustrations throughout!
