BETTER CONNECTED: HOW GIRLS ARE USING SOCIAL MEDIA FOR GOOD by Tanya Lloyd Kyi and Julia Kyi, illustrated by Illustrated by Vivian Rosas and published by Orca Book Publishers is up for the Norma Fleck Award for Children’s Non-Fiction!
The online world has real dangers, but girls around the world are using social media to create positive change and practice good digital citizenship.
You’ve probably seen media stories about the ways girls interact online, with headlines like “Depression in Girls Linked to Higher Use of Social Media,” or “Half of Girls Are Bullied on Social Media.” Better Connected focuses on the less-recognized and positive aspects of the online experiences of girls. From environmental activism to gun control, immigration policy to education access, girls are leading the way. They’re showing up, teaming up and speaking up. With profiles of real changemakers and practical tools for getting started, Better Connected is an inspiring look at the amazing things girls can accomplish online.
Tanya and Julia are a mother daughter writing duo and are both represented by Amy Tompkins.
