The Robot and the Bluebird is a beautiful children’s book by acclaimed author and illustrator David Lucas.
From Andersen:
There was once a robot with a broken heart, good for nothing but expiring slowly on a scrap heap. Then one winter’s day a migrating bluebird lands on his shoulder, too exhausted to go further. The robot offers her shelter in the place where his heart used to be…
Offbeat talent in a world reminiscent of Tim Burton’s.
— Observer
A poignant book… simple pictures steer the story away from sentimentality, and its readers will take a while to grow out of it.
— Telegraph
This is (excuse the pun) a real heart warmer of a book.
