Product Information

The final page unites the characters from earlier pages with a reassuring message for readers: “Just because the sun has set, / doesn’t mean it will not rise. I don't know if it's my mood or what, but the message in this book seems too blatant and "in your face".

Perhaps, after studying the illustrations and gaining further insight into the comments, kids will reread and reflect upon them further. This book also links to the seasons as there is a point in the book where the robot is sat on the scrap heap for a whole year through all the seasons. Day turns into night, Autumn into Winter, as he lies there, and this is beautifully and simply portrayed in four consecutive pictures. An exhausted, migrating Bluebird shelters where the Robot’s heart used to be; he builds her a nest of wires. He proclaims that he never really draws images from real life instead he feels he utilizes his imagination for every illustration, forming patterns and shapes as a part of his work.
