Greta Thunberg's Biography Releasing On...

Sixteen-year-old Greta Thunberg catapulted to international fame and became a household name when she decided to go on a strike in front of Sweden's Parliament building, asking politicians to do something about the grave issues of climate change on August 20, 2018. She inspired millions of people around the world who have joined her movement to save the earth. A year later, Simon & Schuster Children’s Book is all set to publish Thunberg's inspiring biography in August 2019.

 
The upcoming biography of the climate change activist is aptly titled Greta’s Story: The Schoolgirl Who Went on Strike to Save the Planet. The book was first published in Italy by D’Agostini and was written by Valentina Camerini, reported The Bookseller.

The world English language rights were acquired by the managing director of Simon & Schuster Children’s UK, Rachel Denwood. “Greta Thunberg is one of the most extraordinary young people of our time and her positive action and determination make her an inspirational role model for children. I am thrilled that my first acquisition for Simon & Schuster is a story as important and empowering as Greta’s and I’m immensely proud to see this book on our list,” Denwood said, according to The Bookseller's report.
 
Greta's Story is translated by Moreno Giovannoni and it is illustrated by Veronica ‘Veci’ Carratello. The book "is her story, but also that of many other girls and boys around the world willing to fight against the indifference of the powerful for a better future," reads the book's synopsis.
 
Meanwhile, Greta has spoken at the UN summit on climate change, COP24, and she has also been nominated for the coveted Nobel Peace Prize.
Greta’s Story will release on August 22, 2019.
