Sometimes reading a book about a challenging topic is easier than finding the 'right words to say.' "Is my Best Friend a Robot?" is a story about asking questions and accepting differences. Albert is a shy and silly boy. Myra is a charismatic and creative girl. Albert and Myra do everything together. They battle robots, invent new desserts, and explore far-off planets all from the comfort of Albert's living room. But when Myra hears a strange BEEP from Albert's tummy one day, she thinks she's discovered Albert's biggest secret - her best friend is a robot! ...or is he? The reader is invited to see the world through Albert and Myra's imaginations as they learn about curiosity, type 1 diabetes, and what it means to be a true friend.

Can robots perform actions, make decisions, collaborate with humans, be our friends, perhaps fall in love, or potentially harm us? Even before these things truly happen, ethical and philosophical questions already arise. The reason is that we humans have a tendency to spontaneously attribute minds and “agency” to anything even remotely humanlike. Moreover, some people already say that robots should be our companions and have rights. Others say that robots should be slaves. This book tackles emerging ethical issues about human beings, robots, and agency head on. It explores the ethics of creating robots that are, or appear to be, decision-making agents. From military robots to self-driving cars to care robots or even sex robots equipped with artificial intelligence: how should we interpret the apparent agency of such robots? This book argues that we need to explore how human beings can best coordinate and collaborate with robots in responsible ways. It investigates ethically important differences between human agency and robot agency to work towards an ethics of responsible human-robot interaction.

When two young readers reach for the same book at the library, they set off on a charming romp through the stacks in this rambunctious and endearing picture book. Sunny and Aarush both love to read. In fact, it is their favorite thing. For Aarush, a book is like a refuge for when you want to be alone. For Sunny, a book is like a companion that keeps you from being lonely. There is only one problem: they are best friends with the same book, and neither wants to share. Clearly, one of them will have to find something else to read—but maybe they’ll discover something even better along the way. Could it be sharing is the best part of reading and friendship?
