About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts insisting that they are the only person in the entire world without a smartphone. It is a perfect tool for families navigating the transition into digital independence, using humor to soften the tension of setting boundaries. The story follows the notoriously grumpy Bad Kitty as she demands a phone, only to realize that the digital world is far more complicated and less magical than she imagined. While the book is hilariously chaotic, it serves a dual purpose as a guide to digital citizenship. It addresses the realities of screen addiction, the loss of real-world interaction, and the responsibility that comes with technology. Because it is a graphic novel with high visual interest, it is ideal for elementary students who might resist a serious lecture but will happily engage with Kitty's slapstick misfortunes and the cleverly embedded lessons on phone safety.
