Description

Because social media isn't really social at all...

When two children befriend a strange tree, they quickly become enchanted by its flattery and dazzling distractions. But time goes by, and as the tree's true nature is revealed, the children must decide whether they will live by its lonely rules, or walk away to rediscover the joys of real life and true friendship. 

~~~

Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter... They were supposed to change the world, and they have—for the worse! Experts agree: social media leaves us feeling alienated, depressed and ill-informed. If only there were a subversive anti-social media book that employs sly metaphor to help vaccinate kids from its numbing stupor. Enter The Liking Tree, the unauthorized parody that turns Shel Silverstein’s beloved parable of selflessness on its head to caution children of all ages about the sad, empty existence that is life lived via social media.
