Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Praise for Consent (for Kids!):
A 2020 Chicago Public Library Best of the Best Kids Book


* "Small-but-mighty.... A book to own and refer to, often."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Dealing thoughtfully with a thorny, ever-evolving subject, this book will help shore up conversations about screen time and internet usage. Illuminating and instructive, the book is a first line of defense for parents and educators wanting to spark discussion or reinforce their established rules. Necessary guidance for kids starting to navigate smartphones and social media.”—Kirkus Reviews

* "Amusing, edifying, and empowering, this should be required reading for all consenting, corporeal human beings."—Booklist, starred review

Praise for The Worry (Less) Book:

* "This entertaining, appealing, and friendly guide will be immensely helpful for readers of all ages.... Excellent and absolutely necessary."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

* “Excellent…. Brian’s sense of humor, evenhanded acceptance, and gift for analogies (anxiety is represented as a gloppy gray mass with googly eyes and stick arms) make the book fun and informative. Those who are prone to anxiety will find practical advice about dealing with it, while those less familiar with it will learn to recognize it in others and what they can do to help.… Easy to understand and entertaining.”

School Library Journal, starred review

Kirkus Reviews

2024-08-03
Having advised kids on consent and anxiety, Brian now offers a primer on healthy technology use.

“Congratulations!” this high-energy comic opens. “You’re getting some screen time, maybe even a screen of your own”—language that will be familiar to many children and their adults. In eight quick chapters, simple cartoon figures who vary in skin tone explain how the brain’s reward system processes the dopamine hits that result from social media “likes,” the importance of establishing boundaries, and how to be a good digital citizen. Brian makes glancing references to the more dangerous aspects of unsupervised browsing, such as hate speech and “images and videos with naked people.” She tells kids to talk with parents or trusted adults about things that make them uncomfortable or upset. Throughout, Marble the cat pops up with reminders about staying safe, though a bit inconsistently. Dealing thoughtfully with a thorny, ever-evolving subject, this book will help shore up conversations about screen time and internet usage. Illuminating and instructive, the book is a first line of defense for parents and educators wanting to spark discussion or reinforce their established rules.

Necessary guidance for kids starting to navigate smartphones and social media.(Graphic nonfiction. 6-10)
