What happens when a child stares too long into the glow of a screen... and the world starts to lose its colors? Lila and the Lost Colors is a touching and thought-provoking children's book that gently explores the emotional impact of excessive screen time. Through the eyes of Lila, an imaginative 8-year-old girl, young readers embark on a journey from digital distraction to self-discovery, reconnection, and balance. Lila receives her first smartphone-a magical gateway to games, videos, and endless scrolling. At first, the glowing screen feels exciting and full of wonder. But soon, the real world around her begins to fade. Friends feel far away. Family dinners fall silent. And one day, she wakes up to a world that has lost its colors... With the help of a wise, talking clock and the quiet voice of her own heart, Lila must choose: stay in the world behind the glass, or return to a life filled with real magic, friendship, and imagination. Perfect for children ages 6-10 Loved by parents, teachers, counselors, and therapists Addresses digital balance, emotional awareness, and mindful choices Ideal for classrooms, bedtime reading, or family discussions about technology A beautiful reminder that the most powerful stories are the ones we live-away from the screen.
