The Girl and the Robot Heart

Gracefully told by Neal Hoskins and featuring exquisite artwork by award-winning illustrator Monika Vaicenaviciene, The Girl and the Robot Heart is a beautiful exploration of what makes us human. Set in a sleepy town on Christmas Eve, the story begins with a conversation between a girl and her toy robot, who wants to know what's inside a human heart. Describing it as a series of rooms filled with storybooks, the girl sets about building the robot a heart of its own by telling stories about the quiet little town she calls home.

With rich vocabulary and a rhythmic structure, this tender story has a powerful message that will warm the hearts of readers all year round.
