Our House Is on Fire: Greta Thunberg's Call to Save the Planet

Our House Is on Fire: Greta Thunberg's Call to Save the Planet

From acclaimed picture book creator Jeanette Winter comes the urgent and powerful story of Greta Thunberg, the sixteen-year-old climate activist who has sparked a worldwide student movement and is demanding action from world leaders who refuse to address climate change.

I donâ€™t want you to be hopeful. I want you to panicâ€¦I want you to act as if our house is on fire. Because it is.

When she was fifteen years old, Greta Thunbergâ€™s teacher explained to her class that our climate is changingâ€”the earth is getting warmer, the polar ice caps are melting, and life on earth is threatened. Greta was devastated. What could she do? If the grown-ups werenâ€™t doing enough to save the planet, Greta would have to demand change herself.

So she went on strike, skipping school every Friday to sit outside of the Swedish Parliament building with a sign that read â€œSchool Strike for Climate.â€ At first, Greta was the only one. But gradually, more and more students joined her, until her lone protest had sparked a worldwide student movement for action on climate change.

Now, a year later, Greta is speaking to audiences of world leaders at important meetings like the United Nations Climate Conference and the World Economic Forum. She is leading the conversation on climate change and sparking worldwide conversation on how to save our planet. Greta is showing everyone that even the smallest person can make a big difference, and this picture book informs and inspires young readers who are beginning to learn about the world around them.
