Garrett just got the gaming console of his dreams - but the game he can't stop playing might be playing him.
Nine-year-old Garrett loves bikes, soccer, and helping in the kitchen... until a new gaming console slowly takes over. Bit by bit, the screen crowds out his friends, his family, and the real world. Then a friendly online "friend" starts asking questions a stranger never should - where he lives, how old he is, his real name.
That's when Garrett meets Mrs. McMeow: a warm, wise cat teacher who helps him balance screen time, stay safe online, and rediscover the adventures that matter most - with a song he'll never forget.
A gentle, reassuring story that opens up two conversations every family needs today: healthy screen-time habits and online safety - including the simple rule that you never share personal information with people you meet online.
Inside you'll find:
• A heartwarming story kids ask to hear again
• Mrs. McMeow's sing-along "Screen Time" song
• A clear, kid-friendly online-safety lesson
• "A Message from Mrs. McMeow" to spark family conversation
Perfect for ages 4-12 - for bedtime, classrooms, and any family navigating screens, gaming, and the online world.
Book 1 in the Mrs. McMeow series - gentle stories with real-life lessons, built around "Be Kind, Be Brave, Be You."
