I had an idea this evening, that I’m extremely excited about.
I think I should write a book, or probably, a series of books, about computer safety for kids.
There are some good kids internet safety books written for parents. But parents and teachers need to teach kids about how to be safe online.
I think the audience that really needs these books is little kids, early readers, like ages 4-9.
The first draft has come out really instructional and not that fun.
I might need to re-write it like a story.
I’m not going to post any of the drafts up here, but if you want to read it, or if you know the perfect illustrator, email me or comment below and I’ll send you a draft.

That is a good idea, and who better to write it?
My feeling is a child of 9 has no business on the Internet without Mom or Dad sitting right next to them. But I’m sure that many people don’t agree.
My nieces were all playing with their Daddy’s computer at age 3. Emma, the oldest, had her own e-mail address at 5. (Which she can’t access without my sister)
