Although Robomop is assigned to clean bathrooms in a basement, he never stops dreaming about the places he might end up. He doesn’t lose hope that someone will lift him up that pesky staircase, release him into the world, and perhaps even sell him to the circus. Even when a new robot is brought in to replace him, Robomop tries to see the positive side. It is that persistence and good humor which makes this robot so lovable in this story about unlikely friendship and big dreams. Using woodblock ink and digital media, Rodriguez produces sharp lines and a soft palette to create a retro feel that adds to the playfulness of Taylor’s story. Robomop will have you dancing along with him as you root for his happiness.
