We are delighted to share some wonderful news!

The Italian edition of Our Phones Left Home, titled Quando i telefonini vanno in vacanza, has received the support of UNICEF Rome!

Written by American author John Edwards and translated into Italian by Abele Longo, this charming children's book addresses one of the most relevant challenges facing families today: finding a healthy balance between technology and real-life experiences.

Through a heartwarming, humorous, and engaging story, Our Phones Left Homeencourages children and parents alike to rediscover the joys of imaginative play, friendship, family connections, and spending meaningful time together—away from their screens.

The recognition from UNICEF Rome is particularly meaningful to us, as it reinforces the book's educational message and the importance of fostering a healthier, more balanced, and mindful relationship with technology from an early age.

Already available in English, Spanish, and Italian, Our Phones Left Home was created not to discourage technology, but rather to remind young readers and their families of the irreplaceable value of human connection, creativity, and experiences beyond the digital world.

We are deeply grateful to UNICEF Rome for its interest in and support of this project, and we hope this wonderful story will continue to reach families, teachers, educators, and young readers around the world.

Because sometimes, the best way to reconnect is to disconnect.

Warm regards,
