Look Up!

Autor Britt Gondolfi Ilustrat de Amanda Romanick
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 apr 2024 – vârsta până la 7 ani
Poo on you! Literally. Fontaine the pigeon is fed up with screen-obsessed humans' obliviousness to the world, so he convenes a meeting of the birds. Their unanimous decision: Drop poo on malefactors who glance down at phones. "Targets" will be forced to look up after bombardment! Following the first "hit," a mother quickly glances up, curious about "that bizarre scream," because Fontaine has issued a battle cry--"VIVA LA REVOLUTION!" No screen remains untouched because, when someone glances down, "a glob of bird poop" knocks their phone to the ground. Finally, a child says, "I think these birds want us to give these phones a rest." Everyone realizes they've forgotten nature, the importance of using their words--and each other. The moral: Thank the birds, and "when you are outside, keep your phone in your pocket...and your eyes up and wide." Children will giggle at this tongue-in-cheek rhyming tale, set in New Orleans, and will hopefully get the point, which applies to adults, too: Screen time should be minimized and engaging with the world optimized. While the consequences outlined here are mined for exaggerated humor, this serious idea should spark conversations. The colorful, graphic novel-like illustrations are appealing and incorporate creative typefaces and speech bubbles; human characters are diverse. Much-needed encouragement to look up and see the world! (Picture book. 5-8)

Notă biografică

Britt Gondolfi is an "elder millennial" and like any true millennial worth her salt she has almost as many jobs as she has hobbies: law student, waitress, research assistant, project coordinator for the Bioneers, solo gig musician, a teacher at the School of Rock, and most importantly: mother. Concerned over how her cell phone was taking her attention away from her child, she wrote Fontaine the Pigeon Starts a Revolution as an urban legend joke for her daughter. Now, if she ever gets too caught up in her cell phone, her 6-year-old will politely remind her, "Mom, you better put that away before a bird poops on you."

Amanda Romanick is a multi-disciplinary artist whose passion and education for craft began at the young age of 5-years-old when she was hand-selected for the Talented Arts Program in her hometown parish and she began to focus heavily on creative education and outlets, like drawing and painting. Eventually, she graduated with honors from the Savannah College of Art and Design, with a concentration in illustration and sequential art. Amanda is also a mom of a young child and felt the need to do her to create more balance between natural engagement and screen use. Britt and Amanda are good friends and creative partners, and enjoy playdates with their kiddos in New Orleans, where they are both based.
