Bookroo's summary

In a bustling park, children marvel at nature's wonders while their parents remain fixated on their phones. Birds sing, squirrels play, and dogs stir up excitement, but the adults miss it all. What monumental event will finally capture their attention and remind them to cherish the moment? This humorous tale serves as a wake-up call to disconnect from screens and reconnect with the world around us.

From the publisher

A busy Hollywood couple spins a hilarious cautionary tale about what happens when you are glued to your phone. It’s a lively day at the neighborhood park. Birds are singing, squirrels are frolicking, dogs are causing a commotion–and wide-eyed children are enthralled by it all. Too bad the parents are missing everything! It’s going to take something really BIG to get them to disengage from their phones . . . This timely story, brought to life with beautiful bold art, is a great reminder to slow down and savor time together.
