Ever since he was a little chip, Robot knew he was ART-ificially different.
A funny and heartfelt picture book exploring AI, art, and creativity.
Try as he might, Robot can't keep up with the other robots at the warehouse. But when he's sent off for reprogramming, he takes a wrong turn and ends up encountering music, dancing, and ART! He tries to share his discovery, only to find that art is hard to explain--and even harder to do. Will Robot learn to express himself and transform the warehouse...or will he be recycled?

"How important is it to be unique? Is creativity important in this day of A.I. where things can be computer generated? This book explores the idea of being unique and different and the importance of being oneself. The main character in the book, Robot, is extremely different! As a robot, Robot is expected to work hard and get his job completed. However, he has a tendency to daydream so he is sent off to be reprogrammed. He takes a wrong turn and is introduced to creativity. Art, music and dancing come alive as his dreams slowly unfold. He "comes alive" as he becomes an artist. The author/illustrator captures the story in bright and vivid pictures while not only entertaining the young reader but teaching the young reader the importance of creativity. As AI is introduced into our society, it is imperative to continue to support the creativity of the younger generation and this special book helps to foster this idea." —Children's Literature
