Brainy Billy Builds a Bot

Brainy Billy, a young renaissance kid, loves creating new things and solving problems. Like most kids, he really wants to do what he wants to do - so much that he builds a robot to handle the boring stuff so he can get to the fun stuff! But, like all machines, his robot, Charlie, must be taught and becomes quite the project, immediately creating more problems than he solves. Eventually, Charlie becomes a great helper and friend. And Billy learns valuable lessons about the magic of inspiration, the joy of helping his family, and the utter impossibility of training a perfect robot overnight!
 
"Oh, what a day!" he groans and pouts. 
"My whole plan fell apart! 
With all these chores, how will I get 
to show the world my art?" 
 
"I need someone who's good at chores
and does them all just right. 
Perhaps a friend whom I can teach 
to clean my room at night." 
 
"I'd love if it could brush my teeth 
and help me style my hair, 
and maybe clean my dinner plate 
and fold my underwear!"
 
“A humorous and heartwarming look at the role technology has in our lives as well as the meaning and value of work, Brainy Billy Builds a Bot uses rhyme and vibrant, colorful illustrations to win over young readers and caregivers and parents alike.” - BookLife review
