Why are there bandages and gifts stuck to my Technology Tail!? Let Screen explain the importance of what you post online. The Technology Tail is a cute, creative story about children and their texts, tweets, posts and pics. Don't be mean and irresponsible! That's the straight-to-the-point advice "Screen" has for young readers who are active on social media. Whether tapping out messages on their computers, tablets or phones, Screen wants kids to know their words – the kind and the cruel – will follow them for life, creating a digital trail that can't be erased. The Technology Tail is part of the Communicate with Confidence book series that offers a timeless message to a new generation just learning how to navigate the fast-changing digital age.

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
