Review
“Until recently, who would have imagined that children might need a picture book to help them make wise choices on social media? This witty, beautifully drawn guide reminds kids to be thoughtful online and should be required reading before any child can have the WiFi password. I can only hope that the adults in the house will give it a good read, too!” – David L. Hill, MD, FAAP, Pediatrician, Author and Media Expert “A fabulous resource for teaching children about their digital footprint! Showing how a “technology tail” can get bruised, scratched and torn is a perfect way to help kids see and understand how they impact others online. It empowers children to be responsible, safe and kind on social media.” – Jill D. Kuzma, Speech-Language Pathologist/Social Skills Teacher, Apple Valley, Minnesota
