A young boy explains to his new robot what it means to be human in this thoughtful story from the creator of the indie-bestselling Soy Sauce! From food to family, emotions, imagination and connection, there’s so much to know about being a person, but the boy soon realizes that much of his world is beyond the bot’s grasp. A timely tale for the digital generation, this beautifully illustrated picture book is a gentle conversation starter for discussing AI, and offers inquisitive young readers a way to think about what makes them uniquely, wonderfully who they are.
