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.
