Four characters.
One mission.
The Digital Guardians help kids ages 5–12 build the digital life skills schools don’t teach. Each one carries one big idea — and shows up across our books, lessons, and family conversations.
Alex Chen
Alex peeks under the hood of AI — so kids do too.
AI is everywhere kids are: homework helpers, chatbots, image generators, recommendation feeds. Alex teaches kids that AI is a tool, not a person — and that understanding how it works is the difference between using it well and being used by it.
- How AI actually learns from data
- Why AI gets things confidently wrong
- When to use AI for homework — and when not to
- How to write prompts with purpose and clarity
Bella Rodriguez
Bella makes social media feel honest — not performative.
Sharing, friending, posting, group chats — Bella meets kids where they already are. She doesn’t lecture. She models how to think before you share, how to spot when a friendship is going sideways online, and how to be yourself in feeds that reward being someone else.
- Three questions to ask before sharing online
- How algorithms shape what they see
- Navigating group chats and friendship drama
- What “authentic” actually means online
David Cooper
David builds safety habits that stick — without the scare tactics.
Passwords, privacy settings, scams, voice chat, in-game purchases — David turns the scary stuff into routines kids actually follow. The goal isn’t fear. It’s confidence: knowing what to do when something feels off, before it becomes a problem.
- How to build a strong, memorable password
- What scams actually look like in 2025
- Voice chat and in-game purchase smarts
- When and how to tell a trusted adult
Catori nakai
Catori asks “where did this come from?” — and teaches kids to do the same.
Deepfakes, misinformation, AI-generated images, headlines designed to make you furious — Catori gives kids a fact-checking toolkit they can use every time they pick up a phone. Less reacting, more thinking.
- How to spot a deepfake or AI-generated image
- The “source check” — three quick questions
- Why headlines try to make you feel something
- How to verify before they share
One Guardian for every digital question kids actually have.
Alex, Bella, David, and Catori each carry one big idea — but they show up together. Because real digital life isn’t just AI, or just safety, or just media. It’s all of it at once.
