Catherine Price, author of HOW TO BREAK UP WITH YOUR PHONE
“An inoculation against social media’s seductive pull—and a great conversation starter for people of all ages. (Kids, your parents should pay attention to its message, too!)”
Dr. Nicholas Kardaras, author of GLOW KIDS
“Bravo! Finally an entertaining and witty children’s book that brilliantly conveys the dark side of social media to young readers via the parody of a children’s classic! The Liking Tree is also smart and compelling enough for parents as well. John Allen Wooden has done a tremendous service for all families with his innovative new book.”
Thomas Kersting, author of DISCONNECTED: HOW TO PROTECT YOUR KIDS AGAINST THE HA
“A perfect illustration of the toxic fruit that is social media. A powerful message for children and an eye-opener for parents.”
