From the publisher

A heart-warming picture book about a lost, broken robot searching for their place in life, their family and their forever home by award-winning author and illustrator Joe Todd-Stanton. Deep in the heart of a rubbish dump, a little broken robot woke up . . . Mio can’t remember where they came from or how long it’s been, but they know they’re not meant to be there. They go in search of their memories and the home they once knew, only to discover that everything has changed. A stunning picture book with a beautiful message about loving yourself and knowing there is always a place where you belong.
