There are lots of signs that we’re in information bubbles these days. You may be seeing one side of the story–your side. Other people may be in a very different bubble. In fact, each camp may have no idea there are other points of view. They would be very surprised to find that your bubble is so different from theirs, and vice-versa.
It’s time to burst those bubbles! Find out what other people are saying–and let them hear your point of view. Burst Your Bubble! helps you outsmart the algorithms that keep you in your bubble, so you can see more of what’s really happening.
Burst Your Bubble! is in stores November 11, 2025. Pre-order it online today! Illustrated by Jan Dolby and published by Owlkids Books. For ages 8-12 officially … but don’t you want to know how to burst your bubble as well (or help your parents to)?
“A must-purchase for libraries looking for books on algorithms, bias, and media literacy.”

A Broken Crayon is a heartfelt children’s book with a message that resonates with all ages. Inspired by the hit song from the band Go Fish, it tells the story of a crayon that breaks and believes it’s no longer useful—until an artist sees its beauty and uses it to create something extraordinary.
With lyrical storytelling, this book reminds readers that mistakes, scars, and setbacks don’t define us—they shape us into something even more beautiful. Perfect for families, classrooms, and heartfelt conversations, A Broken Crayon inspires resilience, self-acceptance, and the truth that even in brokenness, we can still shine.
A highlight for me was working with Jan Dolby, the illustrator of the book. Jan is an absolute pro. Her creativity, color choices, and eye for detail brought this story to life in ways I never could have imagined. Watching her transform my words into visual art was one of the most rewarding parts of the entire process.
