Starting from the speech that moved the whole world, the story of the brave Swedish activist Greta Thunberg becomes an illustrated biography, told in simple words precisely to the real protagonists of the last green uprising: children. Because to them goes the important message of the fifteen year old environmentalist at the Cop24: you are never too small to make a difference.Summer 2018, fires and drought devastate Sweden. From August 20 of the same year, every Friday a fifteen year old girl sits in front of the Swedish Parliament in Stockholm in protest. Her name is Greta Thunberg, and  is destined to travel around the world.With the help of those who believe in her message and determination, Greta comes to speak before the powerful people of COP24, the UN summit on climate change held in Poland on 4 December 2018.Greta is now sixteen years old, she has been proposed as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize, and has used social media to move consciences, to urge young people to take to the streets. Imagine what we could do together, if only we really wanted to, says the girl in her speech at COP24, and in fact – with the hastag #fridayforfuture, slogan of the world strike that also involved Italy on March 15th 2019 – she moves beyond 1.4 million young people in 2,083 squares in 125 countries spread across every continent.
