The Team Behind It
During Cyber For Youth's 2025 Summer Internship, our Research & Writing team came together to create something we wish we had when we were younger: a children’s book about staying safe online, written by teens who grew up on the internet. Our goal is to make online safety less of a lecture and more of a conversation between families. This book is designed for elementary school readers (around 3rd–5th grade) and includes fun, interactive activities so kids can practice and remember the key lessons as they go. All profits from this book go directly into Cyber For Youth, helping us expand our mission to make the internet safer for kids and families everywhere.
