Timothy McMaister has a big problem! He's a time-waster! Every unoccupied moment of Timmy's life is filled with phone games, meme scrolling, and video-watching. And his siblings follow Timmy's lead. The McMaister parents come up with a plan to redirect their kids' habits. Let's see how they respond!

This wonderfully illustrated children's picture book is designed to help caring adults have a conversation with the children in their lives about the dangers of too much screen time. But it's not just for the kids. Everyone who engages with this fun and meaningful story has the opportunity to reflect on their own habits and help themselves as they seek to help the kids they love!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Story Promoting Family Over Screens

 I absolutely love this book! If you have ever known a kid who has been, at times, a timewaster, this book is for you! I have known Pastor Jim Lyman for many years, and what I love about the content he creates, is just how practical it is. This book is no exception, it centers around a child's real-life struggle between being present with his family and being glued to video games. I was expecting an amazing book, just because I am familiar with the quality of material that Jim Lyman makes, but this book exceeded my expectations. The artwork is amazing: super cute and it absolutely makes the story come alive. This is a fantastic story about Timothy, who puts his screens above his family. The story is a rhyming story, easy to follow even with a young audience, and has a totally relatable plot that just sets up family discussions. I highly recommend this book - it is definitely NOT a Time-Waster!

Jim Lyman's Timothy McMaister is a delightful read for children and adults, thanks to its engaging rhyming message. BuSizwe Dlamini's illustrations perfectly complement the story, adding to the overall charm of the book. Kudos to both.
