Human life through a child’s eyes

A young boy introduces his new robot to the everyday and inner dimensions of being human, from food and family to feelings, imagination, and connection. As he explains these things, he recognizes that some parts of human experience are difficult for the machine to grasp. The contrast gives the picture book a clear way to open conversations about AI while keeping attention on the qualities that shape a person’s sense of self. Its subject matter brings technology into dialogue with ordinary relationships and personal identity.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 exploring questions about robots and AI
  • Families or educators looking for a picture book to prompt conversation about feelings, imagination, and identity

Book overview

A celebration of humanity in the digital age, perfect 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.
