Dr. John S. Hutton is an author whose work is inspired by experiences as a parent and grandparent, pediatrician, researcher and children's bookstore owner. His dad was a doctor, his mom a writer; he strives to honor both. He is among the world's leading experts in quantifying relationships between home reading and digital media ("screen time") environments on brain structure and function in preschool-age children using MRI, featured extensively in academic and news outlets. He is the author of the Baby Unplugged, Love Baby Healthy and DR Books series, among others. Christina Brown is a professional illustrator, but she never would have become one without a little grit!

"In Dr. Hutton's picture book, a baby experiences the world unplugged from devices. The appeal of babies and diverse, happy families will encourage readers to embrace the screen-free message." --Kirkus Reviews

"Baby Unplugged is a sweet board book that encourages 'unplugged time' to help children build skills, bonds, and brains. A perfect pick for parents and caregivers of infants and toddlers seeking a gentle, positive approach to limiting screen time." --Bianca Schulze, The Children's Book Review
