Greta Thunberg

You may already know that Greta Thunberg is one of the most iconic figures in the modern environmental movement, but did you know that she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize at the age of only 16? Or that she sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in a zero-carbon yacht to attend a climate event in New York? And how she is also raising awareness about Asperger's and the importance of appreciating neurodiverse people? Great Lives in Graphics reimagines the lives of extraordinary people in vivid technicolour, presenting 250+ biographical facts in a new and exciting way. It takes the essential dates and achievements of each person's life, mixes them with lesser-known facts and trivia, and uses infographics to show them in a fresh visual way that is genuinely engaging for children and young adults. The result is a colourful, fascinating and often surprising representation of that person's life, work and legacy. Using timelines, maps, repeated motifs and many more beautiful and informative illustrations, readers learn not just about the main subject of the book but also about the cultural background of the time in which they lived.
