Join Sam the Eco Robot on his first adventure as he cleans up plastics
in the ocean and saves animals caught in old, discarded fishing nets
that he comes across using his robotic technologies and artificial
intelligence (AI).
"The mechanical cleverness of the robot and the sounds of the recycle
machines are wonderful! Children will be fascinated by all of this
mechanical detail in the pictures and they will ask a lot of questions
about them."
--Dr. Pippa Goodhart, celebrated, prize-winning children's book author
of over one hundred books, tutor at ICE, The University of Cambridge,
England
"Ms. Wanick has written a delightful children's book about caring for
our planet and one another. She has long cared about environmental
issues and this story encourages our young people to do the same, to be
leaders in caring for Mother Earth. Inventive. Fun. Engaging, too.
Bravo!"

Ninja Turtles I, II, and III, and the All New Mickey Mouse Club

--Gitanjali Rao, Young Innovator, TIME "Kid of the Year" 2020
