I was really disappointed with No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference, a collection of speeches that Greta Thunberg gave during 2018 and 2019. I applaud Greta for creating the awareness of Climate Change that she's achieved, mostly with her school strike, and secondarily with her speeches around the world.
But this "book" wasn't really necessary. Because each speech was given to a different organization, the speeches contain mostly the same information. Greta mostly scolds politicians. She states that we already have the answers, but those answers - or suggestions - to keep the temperature from rising - are not part of this text. Having heard Greta speak once (on television), I really learned nothing new from this book.
Now I'm wondering if perhaps it was just a fundraising opportunity for Greta's foundation, if she even has a foundation. There was no background information about Greta whatsoever. The book was simply the printed version of her speeches.
