Translated by Marcel Danesi.
Illustrated by
AnnaLaura Cantone.
A boy lamenting how busy his mother is (no father is mentioned) dreams of inventing a robot mom who becomes his protector, chef, and indulger. The boy's epiphany is sappy--"How do you hug a robot mom?"--but the mixed-media art, featuring a Muppet-like boy set against stripy backgrounds that employ ribbon and lace borders and accents, is humorous and imaginative.
