‘‘Norton and Alpha’’ by Kristyna Litten is a deeply charming book that starts with a slightly melancholy soul, but opens up wonderfully towards the end to warm the cockles of one’s heart. This strange thing seems to be organic in nature and has a nice smell, what on Earth is IT, and is IT worth keeping? In a world of scrap they are surprised when they stumble across IT. Together they go outside to gather more materials so that even more things can be built. Norton is an inventor and one fine day he created his robot pal, Alpha, the robot equivalent of a dog. Robots are cool, but robots that build other robots are even cooler. What would you think the first time that you happened upon a flower? To a robot, our world would look pretty strange as everything would be new. We are used to the world around us and take every day amazing things for granted a sunset, or that cold bite in the air that makes you want to go and walk the dog.
