librarianryan 's review for:

Vanessa Nakate by Maria Isabel Sánchez Vegara
3.5
informative inspiring fast-paced

 
Big people little world has finally done a book on someone I’ve never heard of before. It is a young climate activist, the likes of Greta Thunberg, who has had to deal with racial prejudice, even in climate change. She’s trying to get her voice heard about how the continent with the least amount of people affecting climate change deals with some of the worst consequences. This book is almost too short on real facts. These books are normally glow overs, but the reader can feel the holes. One other problem is Vanessa Nakate is a black woman and the pictures in black-and-white that are included on the very end or not done well and hard for the reader to see and make out features.
