Minneapolis, MN, Oct. 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Help kids make a safer cyber world with the new Garfield’s ® Guide to Digital Citizenship series, coming January 2020 from Lerner Publishing Group. Filled with kids’ favorite Garfield characters (and some new ones), this four-book series takes a look at cyber safety through a social-emotional learning lens. The books are part of an award-winning program developed by the nonprofit Center for Cyber Safety and Education to teach younger children basic online safety.
In each title, readers follow Nermal as he makes mistakes and learns how to fix them in this series covering online bullying, safe downloading, and more. Quizzes at the end test reader comprehension, and Garfield’s trademark laugh-out-loud commentary make this series a must-have for parents and teachers looking for engaging resources on digital citizenship for young readers.
“Garfield has been a pop-culture icon for decades, and his voice translates perfectly to the digital world,” said Adam Lerner, Publisher and CEO of Lerner Publishing Group. “He makes a great guide for online etiquette.”
“We know children are getting online younger and younger, and it is vital that we give them the skills to safely navigate the Internet,” said Patrick Craven, Director of the Center for Cyber Safety and Education. “Garfield and his friends provide the perfect engaging way to reach young people.”
The full Garfield’s ® Guide to Digital Citizenship series will be available on January 1, 2020.
