New Children's Book Encourages Children to 'Unplug' and Discover the Joy of Hobbies  Image New York-based writer and content creator Andrew G. Rosen is pleased to release his first illustrated children's book that tells the story of a curious little boy who finds himself bored and searching for fun activities to help pass the time.

Featuring colorful illustrations by Charity Russell, "Bobby, Get a Hobby!" takes readers on a journey of self-discovery, as they learn about leisure activities and pastimes they can participate in, sans technology.

The colorful 32-page book, inspired by the author's 6-year-old son, is a throwback to classic children's books with a simple message: get children to unplug.

"If I can get one child to put the phone down and pursue a hobby or simply be present enough to hear a bird or smell a flower, I'm satisfied," says Mr. Rosen. "I've seen way too many children addicted to cell phones and screens, and frankly, I'd love to be a small voice in the fight against the zombie-like trance many 21st century kids find themselves in."

"Bobby, Get a Hobby!" available on Amazon.com, is the perfect book for children who spend too much time with technology. The companion website, bobbygetahobby.com, explores each of the hobbies illustrated in the book in greater detail.
