Ned the Internet Troll

Ned the Internet Troll is a funny and heartfelt picture book about navigating meanness online and in the real world. Young kids may not be online yet, but they know when words hurt. Ned helps them practice kindness now so they'll know what to do when they enter the digital world. Ned is an internet troll. Internet trolls are supposed to be grumpy, rude, and very good at leaving mean comments on the internet. But Ned has one very big problem... he's terrible at being mean. Through humor and whimsical illustrations, this story helps kids understand that hurtful words say more about the troll than the person receiving them. It's a lighthearted way to help young readers laugh, take a deep breath, and move on when they encounter negativity... even before they start using the internet. Written and illustrated by blind author and illustrator Paul Castle, Ned the Internet Troll turns online bullying into something a little less scary (and a lot more silly!) Perfect for classrooms, families, and anyone learning how to handle troll behavior, whether online or in the real world.
