Summary Note: "This is an exquisitely illustrated picture book that tackles climate change in a lyrical and rhythmical style. A giant stands watch over the sea and warns a 'brave girl' the sea is rising. This girl is reminiscent of young climate activists whose warnings – like those of our child hero – are often dismissed, with increasingly disastrous consequences. The book deals with themes of whose voices count, the problem of unsustainable growth and how humans will adapt to different futures. 'The giant and the sea' doesn’t shy away from the effects of global warming, noting, 'There is only so much that bravery can do'. Despite its dystopian conclusion, young readers will find the book motivating and hopeful because it shows they have a role to play alongside adults in this multigenerational problem." - Pauline Jones, Anne Hellwig and Annette Turney, The Conversation (https://theconversation.com/6-books-to-help-talk-to-your-child-about-climate-change-215693) General Note: Collection: Picture books.
