Robot Dreams by Sara Varon was sold to me as being a cute little story about a dog who builds a robot so that he has a friend.

I loved how this work tackled the transitory nature of friendship; it's such a human story despite being about a dog and his robot. Friends come and go, and often it's sad, and people don't MEAN to drift, but they do. And when you see that person again down the line?? A lot of the time it's okay -- ...

This is a pretty amazing book. I think I would recommend it to everyone, ever. The fact that a wordless graphic novel about a dog and his robot friend turned out to be the most true-to-life story that I've ever EVER (EVER!) read is some high-wire, next-level writing. Never mind the fact that it's ju...

Wordless, funny, heartbreaking, sweet. A dog builds a robot and loses it on the beach. The dog is lonely, and makes new friends. The robot is lonely, and dreams.
