Publisher's Synopsis
Gold Award Winner in "Children's Picture Books / Fiction Ages 2- 6 Years" Category of the the Nautilus Awards
Join Sam the Eco Robot on his first adventure as he cleans up plastics in the ocean and saves animals caught in old, discarded fishing nets that he comes across using his robotic technologies and artificial intelligence (AI).
"The mechanical cleverness of the robot and the sounds of the recycle machines are wonderful! Children will be fascinated by all of this mechanical detail in the pictures and they will ask a lot of questions about them."
-Dr. Pippa Goodhart, celebrated, prize-winning children's book author of over one hundred books, tutor at ICE, The University of Cambridge, England
"Ms. Wanick has written a delightful children's book about caring for our planet and one another. She has long cared about environmental issues and this story encourages our young people to do the same, to be leaders in caring for Mother Earth. Inventive. Fun. Engaging, too. Bravo!"
-Cameron Kim Dawson, Sky Dog Productions; Producer of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I, II, and III, and the All New Mickey Mouse Club
