The on-screen world is super exciting—there are games, and new friends, and funny videos! But too much of a good thing isn’t always healthy. 

Luckily, this book is here to help you find the right balance! Learn how to use your devices responsibly, find content that’s right for you, and be a good friend on and offline. Ultimately technology should ENHANCE your life, NOT overtake it. 

Through hilarious comics and vibrant illustrations, readers of all ages will discover how to make the best choices when it comes to screen time.

Praise for (Be Smart About) Screen Time!: Stay Grounded, Set Boundaries, and Keep Safe Online (A Be Smart About Book #3)

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

* "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.”
