""An important wake-up call for adults to have their children's vision corrected"" KIRKUS REVIEWS (for book 1, Misty Mole Gets New Glasses)
Join Misty, a friendly little mole, on a mission to reduce screen time and save her friends' eyesight!

Misty Mole is frustrated because all her friends have mobile phones and tablets, but she does not!

She finally persuades her parents to buy her a mobile phone, and plays on it all the time-even under her desk at school! When her eyes get sore, blurry and she can't sleep, Misty Mole pays a visit to the eye doctor.

All of her friends are there with the same concerns: sore, tired eyes, headaches, and blurry vision. The eye doctor informs them that spending less time on screens and more time outdoors is important for their eye health. But everyone is too obsessed with their video games and apps, soMisty Mole needs to think of a creative way to reduce screen time and restore fun in the Woodlands...

Reviews for Misty Mole Goes Screen-Free

""conveys important messages to children and adults. Energetic, colorful illustrations depict an adorable, all-animal cast; it's no coincidence the ""tuned-out"" activities that endearing Misty and her pals engage in seem more fun than the sedentary, screen-dependent ones.""--Kirkus Reviews ""Short-sightedness (myopia) is becoming increasingly common; in some parts of the world, 8 in every 10 children will develop short-sightedness during their school years. Research has demonstrated convincingly that spending more time outdoors reduces the risk of developing myopia. The Misty Mole books are a really engaging way for children to learn about myopia and the benefits of spending time outdoors. The experiences of Misty Mole will resonate with those who have become myopic themselves - that first pair of glasses makes the world look so incredibly sharp and clear!""--Professor Jeremy Guggenheim, Professor of Myopia Research at Cardiff University, UK ""A marvelous picture book series on the importance of children understanding eye care. It would sit perfectly alongside classics like The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark by Jill Tomlinson. Educational, beautifully written and gorgeously illustrated. Hoorah for books like Misty Mole! This is an absolute classic.""--Angela Kecojevic, author of Scareground and the Oxford Reading Tree programme
