Our House Is on Fire

Reach for this book when your child feels overwhelmed by the world's problems or feels like their voice is too small to make a difference. It is an ideal choice for kids who process the world deeply or those who may feel 'different' from their peers due to neurodivergence. This beautifully illustrated biography follows Greta Thunberg from her quiet, solitary childhood in Sweden to her role as a global activist, highlighting her journey through selective mutism and Asperger's syndrome. While the book addresses the heavy reality of climate change, its primary focus is on resilience and the power of individual action. It offers a hopeful roadmap for turning anxiety into purpose. Jeanette Winter's gentle style makes the concept of environmental justice accessible for the 4 to 8 age range, modeling how bravery often starts with a single, quiet choice to stand up for what is right.
