About This Book
Reach for this book when the 'screen time struggle' is reaching a boiling point and you need a gentle, humorous way to hit the reset button. It is the perfect antidote to those rainy days or long evenings when every family member wants to watch something different and the house feels more like a collection of screens than a home. Through the relatable Mouse family, children see the frustration of conflicting desires and the surprising joy found in simple, unplugged activities. While the plot focuses on a broken television, the emotional heart of the story is about creativity and reconnection. It is a lighthearted, age-appropriate tool for starting a conversation about why we sometimes put the devices away to find adventure in each other's company.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
This is a secular, metaphorical story. There are no heavy topics like death or divorce; the primary conflict is the relatable, everyday tension of sibling rivalry and screen addiction. The resolution is hopeful and celebratory.
