These installments in the Movements and Resistance series (2 new titles) span history to show both past and continuing organized protests. Using a graphic-novel format with artwork that reflects the time period, the books combine action-packed scenes with chunked text that gives background information on the rise of the protest, its leader, and the movement's impact on national or world history. School Strike for Climate begins with an overview of the devastating effects of climate change, the Paris Agreement, and President Trump's withdrawal from this global treaty before focusing on Greta Thunberg and how the teen's solitary school strikes turned into an international movement to mitigate climate change. Speech bubbles from Greta and world leaders presumably recount actual quotes, although no references are provided. Related facts conclude each volume in this series for researchers and casual nonfiction readers alike.

In August 2018, a teenager named Greta Thunberg missed school to sit outside the Swedish parliament with a sign that read School Strike for Climate. She was demanding that government leaders take stronger action against climate change due to global warming. At first, Greta sat alone. But her message spread. Other students joined her in the movement that became known as Fridays for Future. By September 2019, millions of activists from around the world marched in protests to protect the future of the planet.
