About the Book

Book Synopsis

A child very much like your own, Noah discovers how it feels to be on the giving and receiving end of some not-so-friendly behavior on social media. As kids read and see what choices he is faced with, they can easily empathize with his struggles as he learns about the positive and negative power he holds in his hands.

A great read-along book, Noah's New Phone also includes a handy workbook to reinforce important elements of the story like choices, safety, healthy boundaries and the huge potential that is technology. Full of great discussion questions and simple activities, parents and teachers will find it easy to teach about the ripples of change kids and families can make with technology in our homes, schools, communities, and the whole world.

Perhaps the most important tools ever created, smartphones have changed human interactions and relationships more than anything ever invented. They have changed the way we talk (and don't talk), the way we do business, engage with our friends, and even how we show love. In our hands, they have the power to create, to build, or to damage and destroy.

As we give these powerful tools to teens and children at younger and younger ages, it has become imperative to start teaching kids early how to behave and interact with others online. This book is a great start!

Review Quotes

"This is such a great book and SO needed! I love how it makes this complicated (and sometimes overwhelming!) conversation into an easy book to read with our kids. I want to teach my kids to use technology for good and this book helps be do just that in a way that is easy for them to understand. I HIGHLY recommend this book!" --Regina, Amazon Customer

"Although this book is geared towards educating children, it is just as valuable for anyone who uses media or digital devices. I found myself committing to act more positively as an agent for change, and to question why I'm using my phone...is it to numb out or to mindfully take a break? This book brings awareness to the importance of using devices and technology for good. Great resource for all families."-- AKBeech, Amazon Customer
