Malo & Lila, stronger than screens — internet, games & phones (1st–5th grade)

“Five more minutes!” Overflowing tablets, videos that play one after another automatically, games that demand money, the first phone that’s just around the corner… And arguments every time you say “time to turn it off.”

What if, instead of forbidding it, your child learned to become the master of their screens?

Malo and Lila guide children from first to fifth grade through 10 illustrated chapters—without demonizing or inducing guilt, using a positive tone that makes kids want to hit stop all on their own.
