The text reads: Urban planner and author of RIGHT OF WAY Angie Schmitt's PLAYING IN THE STREETS: HOW TO GET CHILDREN OFF THE PHONES AND INTO THE WORLD, about how children and families are being excluded from outdoor public spaces and what infrastructure and design can do to solve these issues and correct the epidemic of loneliness and disconnection, to Catherine Tung at North Point Press.

![Graphic with the cover of Agent Cupcake (including a cartoon child giving the peace sign with their fingers next to a blue cartoon unicorn in a trench coat) as well as photos of the three authors and the GirlTalkHQ logo cropped circular over a light pink/yellow gradient background.
There is a pull quote from the article that reads: "'Agent Cupcake blends real world knowledge about secret messages, social engineering, spyware, and lock picking with a world where a mermaid can run a spy agency, a griffin can help you break into a safe, and unicorns use their magic to craft horrifyingly cute plushies,' she said.
And at the same time, 'it’s a very human story about learning how to fail, transforming passion into action, and figuring out where you fit in,' said artist Katie Longua."
