A heart-warming picture book about a lost, broken robot searching for their place in life, their family and their forever home by award-winning author and illustrator Joe Todd-Stanton.

Deep in the heart of a rubbish dump, a little broken robot woke up . . . Mio can't remember where they came from or how long it's been, but they know they're not meant to be there. They go in search of their memories and the home they once knew, only to discover that everything has changed. A stunning picture book with a beautiful message about loving yourself and knowing there is always a place where you belong.

"A joyful remedy for our times - an uplifting eco-fable of repair, renewal, and second chances." - Mikey Please, The Café at the Edge of the Woods

"Captivatingly beautiful, The Lost Robot is also an achingly poignant mediation on our wasteful society, and touches on themes of found family and belonging." - The Bookseller, '10 Titles Not to Miss in March'

"In this deeply moving story about belonging, a robot searches for home. Mio, a lost and broken robot, awakens in a rubbish dump with no memory of its past-only the certainty that it does not belong there [...] Todd-Stanton tells a devastatingly beautiful story of abandonment and belonging, while also offering a gentle commentary on consumerism and planned obsolescence. The animated art style, with panels that break and flow across the page, makes the story feel like a film in motion, pulling readers swiftly from scene to scene. Rich attention to detail shines through the world building, from architecture and clothing to technology and art. This is a masterful blend of storytelling and illustration that will definitely tug at the heartstrings." - Booklist, STARRED Review
