A sweet and playful yet serious story. — Kirkus Reviews
This delightful and relatable-for-all-ages book follows a little girl navigating her day with her grandma. Her “robot” represents her desire to keep everything familiar, just the way she is used to. But as she and Grandma continue to spend time together, she learns that things don’t always have to be perfect to be wonderful. A heartwarming story that teaches kids that it’s okay to want control, but it’s also okay to let go and try new things. — Michelle Park, Emmy Award-Winning Broadcast Journalist and Content Creator
