About the Book

The online world has real dangers, but girls around the world are using social media to create positive change and practice good digital citizenship. You've probably seen media stories about the ways girls interact online, with headlines like "Depression in Girls Linked to Higher Use of Social Media," or "Half of Girls Are Bullied on Social Media." Better Connected focuses on the less-recognized and positive aspects of the online experiences of girls. From environmental activism to gun control, immigration policy to education access, girls are leading the way. They're showing up, teaming up and speaking up. With profiles of real change makers and practical tools for getting started, Better Connected is an inspiring look at the amazing things girls can accomplish online.

About the Author :
Tanya Lloyd Kyi is the author of more than 25 fiction and nonfiction books for young readers, including This Is Your Brain on Stereotypes and Me and Banksy. She loves stories about science, history and pop culture, or various combinations of the three. Because Tanya works in the early mornings, while Julia prefers to write late at night, the two communicate mainly through Google Docs...and occasionally at the dinner table. Tanya and Julia live in Vancouver, BC. Julia Kyi is a 17-year-old student and activist. Along with her friends Adelaide and Aishwarya, she runs a chapter of Girls Learn International, as well as The Daily Feminist, a workshop series for middle-grade students. You can find the organization on Instagram at @thedailyfeminist_education. Julia enjoys writing spoken-word poetry and reading sad books. In the future she's planning to complete a social justice degree before applying to law school. She's an avid user of Instagram and TikTok, and a believer in the power of social media to make positive change. She wanted to be part of Better Connected because she knows girls can make a difference across the internet, and she was tired of hearing about only the negatives. You can find her reading one of her many library books or telling her mom that teens don't say "YOLO."

Review :
"A fresh take on empowering young girls in our a new rapidly advancing technological age. Pushing the boundaries, the young girls in the book inspire the old generation and the new."-- "The Source" "The Kyi's have found ways to bring girls' voices and actions to the forefront as change-makers...Perfect for those who are exploring social media for the first time...Illustrations and layout designs from queer-Mestizx/Latinx artist Vivian Rosas bring the content to life."-- "Canadian Children's Book News" "Both a history of social media and a guide to using it in a positive way...The usefulness of the information, and the breadth of support it offers for additional purposes, more than justifies its place on library shelves. Recommended"-- "School Library Connection" "Will provide [readers] with inspiration and resources...Adult readers, both teacher and parents, who are sometimes dismissive of, or dismayed by, the amount of time their students or children are spending on social media, can learn about the positive aspects of those online experiences. Recommended."-- "CM: Canadian Review of Materials" "This book is written to provoke thought, inquiry, and action toward a better future. Alongside the main body of text, much additional information is provided in text boxes, sidebars, and notes associated with photos and illustrations." -- "BC Books for Schools"
