This hilarious picture book cleverly tackles the universal challenge of balancing screen time and family time for today’s device-obsessed kids (and the thumb-scrolling grown-ups who love them). Sammy loves his screen. For Sammy, nothing is more fun than streaming cat videos, playing online games, and taking oh-so-fabulous selfies. But when all of the screens in Sammy’s house suddenly freeze, his entire family FREAKS OUT! Especially when they realize it’s only happening to them! Who has it in for Sammy’s family? And how will they ever survive without their screens? With delightful illustrations and a surprise ending you won’t see coming, bestselling middle grade author R.L. Ullman’s debut picture book humorously encourages us to unplug every once in a while and enjoy life together offline. Perfect for readers young and old, The Day the Screens Stood Still is a modern, relatable story families will love reading again and again. Praise from Readers’ Favorite Book Awards:
