A handmade answer to a friendship change

When Billie is moving away from her best friend, she responds by building RoboCorn, a robot unicorn she imagines as a conversation partner and companion. The picture book connects Billie’s inventive problem-solving with a question about whether a created friend can take the place of human friendship. Its playful premise brings imagination and making together with the experience of adjusting to a change in a close friendship.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy imaginative picture-book adventures.
  • Young readers interested in robots, unicorns, and making things.
  • Families and educators looking for a story about friendship and change.
