How Fun! Chris Grine, an illustrator with Shoebox, a division of HallMark Cards, will illustrate three robots for one year. From what I’ve seen so far, these illustrations will certainly make a great book.
As of today, my favorites include “ A Robot with just one ball” “A Robot with an Abe Lincoln Complex” and “A Robot with a distinct limp”. Can’t wait to see what’s coming up in the year to come.
