Crisp writing and sumptuously-lit forests of colour lift the story beyond preachiness to create a gripping parable for our age. * Guy Parker-Rees, illustrator of 'Giraffes Cant Dance' * This beautiful picture book inspired by environmental hero, Greta Thunberg, is a great starting point for conversations with children about climate change. It ends with an age-appropriate fact page and a call to action for any little environmental superheroes out there. -- The Big Issue
