Paula, her little dog, and her dad, along with all the neighbors in the building, discover that when the screens go off, imagination and play turn on. Without television, a computer, or a phone, the night becomes a space for real connection and shared creativity.

At that moment, everything changes: Felipe can't have a snack while watching TV, Paula's dad can't work on his computer, and the phones stop working. However, far from being a nuisance, the lack of electric light becomes an opportunity. Paula, her friend Saida, Felipe, and the little dog Luna show that play and fun do not depend on electronic devices. Together, they star in a magical and memorable afternoon, proving that sometimes the best things emerge when we least expect them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDigital disconnection and human reconnection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe value of free play and childhood imagination.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNeighborhood community and living together in diversity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe importance of presence and mindfulness in the family.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOvercoming adversity through creativity and collaboration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is recommended for families, educators, and children ages 4 and up who are looking for a story that encourages dialogue about screen time.
