When the wifi goes down, a young girl has to drag herparents
out of the house an show them that there is other life out there. Until, that is, she comes home and realizes
that she can’t finish her book report without wifi!
I love that this comes straight from India – Indian author,
Indian illustrator and Indian characters, originally published in India. The sentiment rings true anywhere anyone is
tied to their wifi and their devices.
Pair this with If You Give a Mouse an iPhone. Most people won’t actually learn the lesson
in the books, but they will have a great laugh!
EL – ESSENTIAL.
