Boy and Bot | Ame Dyckman

“A boy was collecting pinecones in his wagon when he met a robot”

Boy and Bot | Ame Dyckman

This is a very funny, creative, and entertaining story. It ties elements of robots and futuristic technology into the life of a little boy. The robot is the little boys friend. It was entertaining when the robot tried to fix the boy by piling him up and reading an instruction manual, as you would do for most machines.

This is a story about a little boy who is playing outside and finds a robot. They starting playing outside together, when the robots power switch accidentally gets turned off. The boy tried to fix the robot but couldn‘t. When the boy went to sleep the owner switch got bumped and he turned back on. The robot thought the boy was broken when he was sleeping and then tried to fix him too. They finally both are on and up and play again.

Fresh batch of robot picture books: Sharing Does Not Compute is fun and I'm stunned a board book is in such good condition, given the target audience. Little Bot and Sparrow is sweet with beautiful illustrations but I can't help feeling it was trying too hard to be slightly melancholy. Welcome to Your Awesome Robot is a fun way to spend an afternoon with a cardboard box. Boy + Bot is just adorable. I would happily have adventures with that Bot.

Sister. She‘s the little one in this pic with me.

Julie Michelle FEBRUARY 24, 1971-JUNE 25, 1976

I don‘t think grief is talked about enough especially for and in children. I post every year to both remember and to say grief is grief how you do it is the right way. And if you have lost someone, I‘m always holding space for you. Always.

GingerAntics I totally agree. My mother wasn‘t taken to her own father‘s funeral because she was “too young.” She agrees with the choice, but I know it has effected her. To remember playing on a swing set while your mother and brother are at your father‘s funeral is messed up. Kids feel all the same things, but they don‘t understand them because no one will talk to them about it. Their capacity to understand is there, though. 2y

AmyG Grief is part of life. My father died when I was 3 1/2. Not only did we not talk about grief….we didn‘t talk about him. I agree this needs to be talked about. How else do children learn to navigate their feelings of loss. 2y
TheBookHippie @AmyG My parents to this day do not say one word. Not one. Of course they are so elderly now I do not expect them to change but still. It is just odd to me. I'm in total agreement with you how else can you learn to navigate life. 2y
AmyG I am always so amazed how my parents kept so many secrets from me. If not for my step sister, ha, I would know nothing about my family. 2y

My grandson(previous post) was born on my sister Julie‘s birthday🤍
She‘s on the right me on left. My sister died at age 5 of a brain tumor. To get my grandson on her birthday -bittersweet.

Tomorrow is always a strange day for me. 🤍

Grief is a weird thing. I don‘t think it‘s talked about enough. So you know me, I share, if for nothing else to show there is no timeline on grief. Or no set way or rules. ..pictures and memories are a gift.

LeahBergen Oh, how heartbreaking. 💔 2y
AllDebooks What a beautiful photo of you both. There is no rhyme or reason to grief. I'm sorry you suffered this loss but sure there will be love and celebration of both your Sister and grandson tomorrow x 2y
Amor4Libros 💔 My Mom passed away on my birthday (it will be 3 years this April). Sending you all the hugs!!! 2y

IndoorDame Definitely something we should talk about more. ❤️ 2y
Prairiegirl_reading Grief is so unbelievably difficult. What a tremendously difficult thing to go through at such a young age. I was once told that every person who leaves your life takes a piece of your heart with them. The only way we can try to fill that hole is with the love of other people. I think your sister sent you a gift. 💜 2y
TheBookHippie @Amor4Libros AWE. hugs to you as well. ♥️ 2y
TheBookHippie @IndoorDame I so agree. ♥️ it‘s so taboo … I think it helps everyone to be able to talk and work it out. Always. 2y
TheBookHippie @Prairiegirl_reading He is a gift and he has her naughty spirit😂♥️. 2y
AmyG What a beautiful picture. Loss never leaves you. It‘s always there. But to have a grandson on her birthday…so bittersweet. 2y

ravenlee I wish you a day full of love for all your precious ones, wherever they may be. 2y
marleed Oh my goodness, what a wonderful way for the next next generation to remember your beautiful Julie. I mentioned to you that my aunt died when she was 5 a before my mother‘s birth. I have a large oval portrait of Vernie and have taught my kids about her. I even own the dress she wore the night prior to her death. I had my daughter‘s pictured taken in it at 5 yrs and 5 mo. I will do the same for my grand daughter dress circa 1912! 2y
TheBookHippie @marleed ♥️ OH how special !!! ♥️ 2y
MaureenMc 💗💗💗 2y
CuriousG *Hugs* My brother had a brain tumour removed at age 10, and died from a completely random unconnected thing in his 30's, only hours after celebrating his own birthday. I find it so weird how dates often line up and they certainly bring up those bittersweet feelings. I'm so sorry you didn't have more time with your sister 💙 2y
curiouserandcurioser @TheBookHippie such a beautiful picture, full of love and joy💜 and such a gift to honor your sister with your grandson. I agree grief isnt talked about enough-unless its to tell you that youve grieved long enough and its time to move on-that drives me crazy! There is no timeline with grief, nor is there a right or wrong way to journey through it, to me. 2y

This is my sister and I (I‘m top bunk)
She‘s been gone 5 decades now.
She died on this date at age 5 from a brain tumor that was extremely rare.
I can still hear voice if I try and it‘s amazing how many memories I have that are clear.

Death was handled horribly back then and it is one of my life‘s goals to teach kids the healthy way to grieve.

I still miss her. That never changes 🤍

My love of books and reading. It saved me.

Susanita *hugs* 3y

LeahBergen Oh my goodness. How heartbreaking! 💔 3y
kezzlou85 Oh how tragic. I'm sorry for your loss. Death is such a hard subject for children and it often isn't handled well. I've always tried to be open and honest with my girls about it. 3y

TheBookHippie @kspenmoll My grandma literally saved me. If I didn‘t have her I would have never made it. 🤍 3y
