Bookroo's summary

In a world where technology reigns, a young boy introduces his robot companion to the wonders of being human. From the warmth of family to the depths of emotions, he shares the essence of life. Yet, as he delves deeper, he discovers that some human experiences elude the robot's understanding. This beautifully illustrated tale invites young readers to explore the unique qualities that define humanity and sparks conversations about the role of AI in our lives. Can a machine ever truly grasp the heart of what it means to be human?

From the publisher

A celebration of humanity in the digital age, for fans of Sophie Blackall’s If You Come to Earth. A young boy explains to his new robot what it means to be human in this thoughtful story by the creator of Soy Sauce! (an “Indie Next” pick from independent booksellers). 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.
