One of the biggest temptations in the modern world is to be attached to a smartphone, the internet, or other tech devices. We have all heard what the smart phone and the internet are doing to people's lives from the news reports of teens staying up all night on their smartphones, to men and women of all ages addicted to pornography, and people who are burning out on social media. This problem we face has never been seen throughout the history of man. The fruits from a constant diet of images are beginning to be made manifest. People are beginning to struggle because their smartphone is their only companion. Many have left reality, for the imaginative world and do not know how to get out of it. Others are so led by the imagination that their emotions and reason are slowly dying.

A little girl explores all of the funny, strange, and wonderful things that make living on Earth so special in this beautifully illustrated children’s story. With a strong message of hope, interconnectedness, and empowerment, This Small Blue Dot features a little girl explaining the world to her baby sister. She hits on small wonders, big lessons, and everything in between, from sharing the joy of silly dances to contemplating the nature of this “small blue dot” we all live on. Author and illustrator Zeno Sworder, who hails from a multicultural background, wrote this story when his daughter was unable to find picture books with characters who looked like her. His precocious young narrator has opinions on plenty of things: nature and the environment, embracing difference, the power of imagination—and the trouble with broccoli. Rich pencil and crayon illustrations conjure up memories of childhood in this celebration of who we are, where we come from, and where our dreams may take us. In This Small Blue Dot, Sworder captures not only life lessons but also the fun, often strange experience of being a member of the human family on planet Earth.
