(3) K-3 Illustrated by Sandhya Prabhat. After moving to a new neighborhood, a young child uses scrap items to build a robot friend. The bright digital illustrations capture the child’s journey from loneliness to connection. When the protagonist meets another youngster, the two initially clash over the robot, but through teamwork and empathy, they rebuild it together. This sparely written story encourages creativity and highlights the importance of cooperation, forgiveness, and understanding in building friendship.
