The Robot and the Bluebird
Title: The Robot and the Bluebird
Author: David Lucas
A broken robot makes a home for a cold, tired bluebird trying to fly south for the winter and eventually he carries the bird to a warmer climate while she rests where his heart used to be.
“Let me carry you,” said the Robot.
“I’ll carry you in my heart, and shelter you from the cold and storms.”
High atop a pile of rubbish sits a lonely Robot with a broken heart. Then one winter’s day, a Bluebird appears, fighting against the freezing wind. When the Robot offers her a home in the empty space where his heart used to be, neither of them can predict what astonishing things will happen. Together the newfound friends set off on a memorable journey that will change them both.
This fable-like tale, bursting with bright, winsome illustrations, is a fresh take on the timeless themes of friendship and second chances.
