Children's book social behavior skills
Padlock Picasso is a talking padlock who visits a high-tech town with a suitcase and a paintbrush. She is one of the best community helpers in the city. She immediately excites the children by showing them all her different digital devices and her scroll of password rules that she’s written with her special paintbrush. Padlock Picasso first teaches children, using a poem of rhyming words, to take their time in choosing a password, rather than creating an obvious, simple password like “password 123.” Instead, she helps them choose something hard to guess but not so hard they won’t be able to remember it, and she uses a bit of child psychology to show that passwords are important shields that protect our family link and information.

Easy reading for counselors, librarians, computer science teachers and parents to take preschoolers, kindergartens and elementary students on a fun and engaging journey towards forming healthy online social habits
