Push Button

Reach for this book when you notice your child has become increasingly dependent on digital stimulation or struggles to find entertainment without a screen. It serves as a gentle intervention for the common 'tablet tug-of-war' by validating the thrill of technology while simultaneously championing the physical world. The story follows a young boy whose obsession with pushing buttons, from the TV remote to the microwave, eventually leads to a sore finger and a mandatory break. This physical limit becomes an invitation to explore imaginative play, art, and nature. Aliki's soft, nostalgic illustrations provide a calming contrast to the frenetic energy of digital devices. It is an ideal choice for preschoolers and early elementary children, offering a non-judgmental way to discuss balance and the tactile joys of being a kid.
