The Wild Robot is a surprising parable about technology, nature, and free will, The Wild Robot by Peter Brown is beautiful, at turns heartbreaking, and deeply profound. Peppered with beautiful black and white illustrations throughout, told in rapid-fire short chapters, The Wild Robot is just as its title implies: it’s a tale of a robot in the wild. What the title doesn’t tell you, is that this is a story of a robot who develops a personality and an identity; it’s the tale of said robot, Roz, becoming a mother, a friend, and a protector of the wilderness that was so alien to her upon her nascent activation. We witness, through Roz’s robotic but somehow always mindful eyes, just how beautiful and harsh nature can be; we also learn about cause and effect, about personal responsibility, and about being a part of a larger community.
