The book is a retelling of the children's story Pinocchio. In this version, Pinocchio starts out as a real boy but becomes a wooden marionette because he has spent too much time online. He finds his way back to being human through setting limits with his screens and reconnecting to life.

Based on recent research, the average 8-year-old child typically spends between 3.5 and 6 hours per day on screens. This book is an opportunity to talk with your child about your family's consumption of electronic devices. Pinocchio Comes Alive Through Less Screen Time invites kids and their parents to spend more time connecting to their inner voice, physical body, nature, art, music, books, and loved ones.

Sample from the book:

Change me back, said Pinocchio. The cricket said, Only you have the power to change back to a boy. If you keep lying to yourself about how your screens are affecting you, your nose will start to grow. I hope you will listen to the sound of the genuine inside of you. The cricket disappeared.

The author, Christy Bonner, is a licensed marriage and family therapist. She is the author of the book, Freedom from Shame: How Mindfulness, Vulnerability & Compassion Can Set You Free. She is also the author of the children's book, The Three Little Pigs Stand Up to the President.
