    From the author of the I'm Trying to Love series comes a picture book that dives headfirst into what screen time does to our brains and what we can do about it.

    You have a brain! And your brain might love screens a little too much. Our bodies react similarly to too much bad tech as they do to junk food. A lot of screentime can make us feel angry, tired, and frustrated, and make it harder to control our impulses. But we can change that! In When Brains Meet Screens, Bethany Barton breaks down how dopamine affects our relationship with screens, what too much screen time does to our brains, and how to know when we've had enough.
