NO ONE IS TOO SMALL TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE BY GRETA THUNBERG

Abstract

GRETA THUNBERG was born in 2003. In August 2018, she decided not to go to school one day starting a strike for the climate outside the Swedish Parliament. Her actions ended up sparking a global movement for action against the climate crisis, inspiring millions of pupils to go on strike for our planet, and earning her the prestigious Prix Liberté, as well as a Nobel Peace Prize nomination. Greta has Asperger’s, and considers it a gift which has enabled her to see the climate crisis ‘in black and white’. No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference is Greta’s first book in English, collecting her speeches from climate rallies across the globe to audiences at the UN, the World Economic Forum, the British Parliament, and US Congress. Her next book, Our House Is on Fire: Scenes of a Family and a Planet in Crisis, is a memoir, jointly written with her mother, the opera singer Malena Ernman, her sister, Beata Ernman, and her father, Svante Thunberg.
