Through Greta's Eyes: A Greta Series

Greta's mum is always on her phone - scrolling through photo after photo of herself, searching for the perfect one. But curious, book-loving Greta has just discovered the ancient Greek myth of Narcissus, the young man so captivated by his own reflection that he neglected every part of living and wasted away.When Greta notices her mum doing the very same thing, staring at her own image instead of the world around her, she knows exactly what to do. "Mum, you are missing out," she says, and leads her on a walk without a phone in sight.What follows is a gentle rediscovery of the everyday magic we miss when we're looking at a screen: the scent of lavender over a neighbour's fence, the chatter of magpies, and colours that seem new again.Through Greta's Eyes brings a timeless lesson - one first told over two thousand years ago - into a modern story for young readers and the grown-ups who read alongside them, about the beauty of putting the phone down and looking up.
