Robot is a helper robot, not a delivery robot, an investigator robot, a teaching robot, or a relaxing robot. But in these four charming, fully-illustrated tales, Robot learns that we can all be much more than we were ever programmed to be.
Because Robot isn't a boy or a girl (Robot is a robot), this book is designed to teach the singular they pronoun. Many adults struggle to retrain their brains to get used to non-gendered pronouns, but there's no reason the next generation can't grow up with the singular they as a natural part of their speech, and Robot the Robot can help.
In addition, because Robot has trouble understanding emotions and dealing with social situations, it will particularly appeal to children both on and off the Autism spectrum who have similar struggles.
Collects the first four Robot the Robot stories: Robot the Helper Robot, Robot the Delivery Robot, Robot the Investigator Robot, and Robot the Teaching Robot.
