Meet the Screen Time Monster!
He's sneaky. He's cheeky. And he loves it when screen time goes on just a little too long.
When one little boy finds himself feeling grumpy, frustrated and overwhelmed, he discovers that the Screen Time Monster grows bigger every time screen time takes over. But with the help of Mum and Dad, deep breaths and fun away from screens, he learns that he can be the boss of his feelings.
Written in playful rhyme and paired with engaging illustrations, The Screen Time Monster helps children understand big emotions while encouraging healthy screen habits in a positive, reassuring way.
Perfect for children aged 3–8 and the grown-ups who read with them.
