My Review
Melvin the Sad...(ish) Robot is an adorable tale about overcoming fear and anxiety to find peace and happiness.
Each day Melvin wakes up sad and discouraged, but with encouragement from his friends Melvin learns to have a little faith in himself and his abilities. Soon the little robot has a new outlook on life and a furry (or not so furry) friend to share his new found happiness with.
The vibrantly detailed illustrations are captivating and will definitely appeal to readers.
I love the message the story shares and am certain Melvin the Sad...(ish) Robot will become a fast favorite among readers young and old.
I highly recommend picking up a copy.
