robots you’ll want to put in your pocket

Middle grade/YA
robots learning to emote 🦾🤖🦾🫀
Books where the robot or android or AI (not stupid real life AI) learns how to be human or human-adjacent. That MUST be part of their arc, even if it’s multi-book. (For example, The Monk and the Robot wouldn’t count because Mosscap is so well adjusted already).
Cherished family read alouds
Books that I loved reading to my kids and that they loved hearing. Not all read alouds satisfy this criteria. If you're looking for something to read to someone I hope you find something on this list to love.
Climate Hope
Books with a thread of environmentalism that are cathartic and (usually) hopeful!
Fantasy books to read before bed
Cozy and fun fantasy reads
