“Hello. My name is Rozum Unit 7134.
“You can call me Rose.”

A cargo ship carrying 500 robots has sunk!
The only robot that survived the rough waves was Rose!
How did Rose, who fell on a wild island, end up here?
I have no idea who I am.

All I know is that I have to survive!
Can robots survive in this harsh wilderness?

An exciting encounter between nature and cutting-edge technology! Amazing imagination!
Author Peter Brown has always been fascinated by robots.
From robots in use today to imaginary robots that only exist in books and movies.
Do we want robots that think and feel like humans? If robots replace us, what will humans do?

The author was also very interested in wild life.
From a young age, I explored rivers and forests and observed animal behavior.
Animals that follow their instincts and live routine lives sometimes seem like robots.
That's how we discover that robots and wild animals have similarities.
What if robots were released into the wild? Would they adapt to their surroundings? And how would nature accept them?

In "Wild Robot," the gender identity given to the robot is female.
The robot Rose, who barely survived, ends up incubating a goose egg that is about to hatch, and the gosling accepts Rose as its mother when it sees her for the first time as the egg breaks.
This is the moment when Rose's maternal instinct begins to blossom.
What does it mean to give robots gender, and can they ever develop maternal feelings?

This question-filled story unfolds against a backdrop of wild, beautiful, and wondrous scenery.
We cannot help but be captivated by the author's imagination, which depicts the familial love between a robot and a gosling, and the friendship between a robot and wild animals.
Peter Brown presents a moving narrative that addresses the issues that children should consider as they enter the age of robots.
Could there be a more heartwarming picture of a future where humans and robots coexist in the vastness of nature?

And Peter Brown's unique illustrations provide readers of "Wild Robot" with a wonderful imagination.
The drawings, rendered in black and white with varying concentrations, combine simplicity with meticulous detail, creating a beauty surpassing any other ornate illustration! The artist's unique style of depicting forest landscapes, wild animals, and wild robots disarms us and immerses us in a fantastical, wild island.
