Dot Unplugged

In "Dot Unplugged," based on Randi Zuckerberg's character, Dot and her family face a common modern dilemma: a rainy day with no power, forcing them to go completely tech-free. What starts as a challenge for the National Day of Unplugging quickly transforms into a heartwarming adventure of rediscovery. Dot, her friend Hal, Mom, Dad, and their dog Scratch explore the basement, unearthing an old spinner game that sparks an evening of charades, speed-sculpting, and creative "tweet-singing." This delightful chapter book beautifully illustrates the joy and connection found when families put down their devices and engage in imaginative, collaborative play. It's a gentle reminder that some of the best entertainment comes from within and from each other.

Can Dot and her family make it through a rainy day without any tech? It’s pouring rain, and the power’s gone out at Dot’s house. Should they take it as a challenge to honor the National Day of Unplugging? Playing outside is out of the question, and so is using the many devices Dot is accustomed to. But what might the basement hold? Dot, her friend Hal, Mom, Dad, and Scratch find lots of exciting stuff, including an old spinner game. It turns out it’s super fun to watch Dad do charades, Mom speed-sculpt from clay, Hal tweet-sing a song, and Dot hunt for something surprising. Their improvised game keeps them so entertained, they just might decide to stay unplugged a bit longer!
