Synopsis

We talk a lot about limiting screen time for kids - but what about adults? This book explains phones to children, while also reminding grown-ups to be present in the moment and prioritize spending quality time with their kids. It can help children make sense of the complex world around them and give them the tools and agency to talk to adults about a technology that is a constant in all of our lives.

About this title

About the Author

Katie lives in Chicago with her husband and two kids. An avid reader and lover of books, Katie left her marketing career behind during the pandemic to pursue her passion - writing! The Shape of Parenting is her first children's book series. She gets her inspiration from her kids and likes to write about everyday topics that she finds her children routinely curious about. She wrote "The Glowing Rectangle" after finding herself and her husband often distracted by their phones and missing out on small but meaningful moments with their kids. Katie followed up with "The Plastic Rectangle" as her kids started asking more and more questions about money and credit cards. Whether it's screen time and phones or money and credit cards, Katie hopes the common and relatable subjects her books cover can help other families learn, laugh and spend more time together.
