Description
Greta is a little girl who lives in a beautiful forest threatened by Giants. When the Giants first came to the forest, they chopped down trees to make houses. Then they chopped down more trees and made even bigger homes. The houses grew into towns and the towns grew into cities, until now there is hardly any forest left. Greta knows she has to help the animals who live in the forest, but how? Luckily, Greta has an idea...
A section at the back explains that, in reality, the fight against the "giants" isn't over and explains how you can help Greta in her fight.

Reviews
--School Library Journal
"Introducing those important lessons to young minds can be tricky, but a new picture book, Greta and the Giants is a great place to start."
--Red Tricycle
'Something very special. 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 Can't Dance'
