In a world besotted with electronic devices, this is a story that resonates with parents and kids alike! Books Don’t Need Batteries tells the story of how Paige, a living book, finds a way to compete with Sal, a resident mobile phone. Sal’s so impressed with himself and attention-seeking (unfortunately, just like a real smart phone), it’s hard for Paige to be heard. Believing in the power of imagination and the importance of reading, Paige shows us why books continue to be special in our digital world.
