Put down those devices! Technology is an important part of our lives, but there is more out there! Hello! hello! by Matthew Cordell and Dot. by Randi Zuckerberg are both cute children’s books that remind kids that there’s a whole world out there to experience.
In Hello! hello!, a virtually wordless book, a child goes outside to entertain himself when his family won’t tear their attention away from their screens (computer, TV, tablet, etc.). He brings them each a flower to lure them out of the house, and they discover how much fun they can have with each other. Hello! hello! can be found in the Easy section under E COR.
Dot is a little girl who is very technologically savvy but eventually gets burnt out. Her mom forces her outside to “Reboot! Recharge! Restart!” and she learns the physical world can be even more fun than a virtual world. Dot. can be found in the Easy section under E ZUC.
