About this listen
This is the story of a family led to confront a crisis they had never foreseen. Of a happy life with two young daughters which suddenly falters, never to be the same again. Aged 11, the eldest stops eating and speaking, while her younger sister struggles to cope.
Slowly, alongside diagnoses of autism and selective mutism, their desperate parents become aware of another source for their firstborn daughter's distress: her imperilled future on a rapidly heating planet.
Steered by her determination to understand the truth, the family begins to see the deep connections between their own and the planet's suffering.
Against forces that try to silence them, disparaging them for being different, they discover ways to strengthen, heal, and act in the world.
And then, one day, 15-year-old Greta decides to go on strike.

"An extraordinary account of how one family rose, with unshakable moral clarity, to the tremendous responsibility of being alive at the moment when our immediate collective decisions will determine the fate of life on Earth. They share their story of courage not because they want our accolades, but because they demand our company. Greta Thunberg has already inspired a global moment - this book is part of how we will win." (Naomi Klein)
