Bøker av Michael (Michael Garland) Garland

Ricky doesn't play outside. He doesn't read books. He is so addicted to his phone, his life consists only of what he sees and hears on the screens he holds in front of his face... and that's just how the BIG IDEA Company wants it! The company tells kids what to like, what to buy, what to do, and even what to think! New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Michael Garland creates a haunting, yet eerily familiar, world that reminds readers what can go wrong when phones and other devices become all-consuming.

Mr. Smith's pride and joy are his colorful flowers and perfectly manicured lawn. So, when he eyes the neighborhood kids traipsing through his yard and trampling his flowers, he roars "Get off my lawn!"The thunderous scolding sends all the kids sprinting home and blaming "mean" Mr. Smith for ruining their fun. But one mom knows exactly where the blame really belongs and helps the children understand why they need to make amends for their damaging and disrespectful behavior. With evocative illustrations and crisp writing, young readers are introduced to the skills of asking permission and making an apology.
