About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to encourage a child who views the world through a technical lens or when you are trying to bridge the gap between digital play and physical toys. It is perfect for the tinkerer who would rather take a machine apart than play pretend in the traditional way. The story follows Charlotte, a tech-savvy girl who receives a doll and initially has no idea how to interact with it until she applies her engineering and coding skills to upgrade her new friend. This book celebrates self-confidence and creative problem-solving while gently introducing themes of empathy and caregiving. It is a wonderful choice for children ages 4 to 8, providing a refreshing representation of girls in STEM. By showing that there is no right way to play, it validates children who march to the beat of their own drum and encourages them to use their unique talents to connect with the world around them.
