52 Ways to Use Your Camera Phone: Kids Edition
Fun Ideas for Everyday Adventures
Ruby and Gus, two cocker spaniels with very different personalities, teach young photographers 52 creative, curious and kind ways to use a camera phone.
About the book
Creative, curious and kind.
Ruby is all copper curls and energy. Her brother Gus is calm, kind and mostly white. Together they show young photographers how to take a great portrait, find the light, hold up the moon, go on a bug safari, make a stop-motion movie and turn a year of pictures into a photo book.
One Way for every week of the year, each with a bright watercolor illustration and simple steps a kid can follow, plus a challenge page at the end of each chapter.
The last chapter, Gus's Rules, covers what matters most: ask before you take someone's picture, keep your home a secret, check with a grown-up before you share, and know when to put the phone away. A note for grown-ups explains the settings worth checking.
