Laura Pedersen, Unplugged,
Tilbury House, 2012


On April 5th, just in time for Screen-Free Week (formerly known as "Turn off Your TV Week") Author Laura Pedersen discussed her book Unplugged with S.T.A.R. third graders in our library.  In this realistic fiction picture book, Ella is frustrated by her family's being constantly "plugged in" to their electronic devices, and decides to unplug them: her brother from his videogames, her dad from his computer, and her mom from her cell phone, in order to reconnect as a family. Ms. Pedersen asked kids what they would do without a screen, and there was no shortage of answers.
