Critical Reviews

"Until recently, who would have imagined that children might need a picture book to help them make wise choices on social media? This witty, beautifully drawn guide reminds kids to be thoughtful online and should be required reading before any child can have the WiFi password. I can only hope that the adults in the house will give it a good read, too!" - David L. Hill, MD, FAAP,

"A fabulous resource for teaching children about their digital footprint! Showing how a "technology tail" can get bruised, scratched and torn is a perfect way to help kids see and understand how they impact others online. It empowers children to be responsible, safe and kind on social media." - Jill D. Kuzma, Speech-Language Pathologist/Social Skills Teacher, Apple Valley, Minnesota

"The Technology Tail is written for kids just beginning to use the internet, encouraging them to be aware of the trail they leave behind online. The tips are great for kids, and also for parents and teachers who want to encourage online safety and digital citizenship. The idea of a "tail" that can look good or bad based on online behavior gives kids a visual, and the book also does a good job of showing how sometimes people can be hurt inadvertently by online behavior." - Bekah, blogger @ Motherhood Moment
