Little Robot Alone

Patricia MacLachlan, Emily MacLachlan Charest

Little Robot has a quiet, peaceful life, but the calm begins to feel like loneliness. Looking for a way to make things better, Little Robot relies on hard work, perseverance, ingenuity, and resourceful thought. The book asks whether an invention can address that feeling of being alone. Soft watercolor-and-pencil artwork and recurring rhyme accompany Little Robot’s effort to improve a solitary situation through creative persistence.
