Jo Bright and the Seven Bots

Description

Once upon a planetoid surrounded by her friends, a girl, Snow Bright, loved building bots from scraps and odds and ends! Snow White gets a stellar upgrade in this clever retelling with a truly inventive heroine. With wit, bravery, and some spare circuit boards, this Jo will foil the queen, befriend a dragon, and build herself a celestially happy ending of her own. From the team that created the acclaimed Interstellar Cinderella and Reading Beauty comes another funny and empowering interstellar fairy tale.

Deborah Underwood is the author of numerous picture books, including Interstellar Cinderella, Reading Beauty, Finding Kindness, The Panda Problem and New York Times bestsellers Here Comes The Easter Cat, The Quiet Book, and The Loud Book!

She has worked for clients like Disney, DreamWorks Animation, Cartoon Network, Scholastic, Storey Publishing, Oxford University Press, and Plansponsor. Originally from a little seaside city in Connecticut, Meg now lives and works in Portland, Oregon.

?- "Hunt's rich, saturated artwork moves between Jo's and the queen's perspectives, building on Underwood's rhythmic hooks and repetition in the narrative to bring an innovative take to the familiar tale.... A delightful picture book for a rambunctious storytime, this also encourages viewers to use creative thinking and problem solving to invent their own happily ever after." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review
