Title: Robot Picture Books - Comps + any fellow bot writers out there?
Post by: heather-merrick on June 18, 2021, 09:16 AM

I have a 2.5-year-old daughter who loves robots. She inspired me to begin my manuscript. I'm writing about a gender-neutral robot who doesn't understand how they fit in with the animals they live near. Then they discover their true purpose and come to appreciate their individuality rather than be ashamed of it.

Books that I have already that involve robots:
* Boy + Bot (love this one)
* Robots, Robots Everywhere
* Rue and the Great Race

Any other robot books that you all know of and like? Also, anyone else writing about robots for young children? I'd love to connect and chat about this largely unexplored topic.

An Amazon advanced search for the age group with the key word robot turns up a bunch. Worth your time to look through what's out there.
