—NATIONAL BESTSELLER—
Relentlessly resourceful Billie! The first book in her series of crafty adventures - BILLIE BUILDS A ROBOCORN - was published April 14, 2026. The second will follow in Fall 2027.
“The contrast between Billie’s earnest confidence in RoboCorn’s capabilities and the robot’s constant, abject failures . . . injects a lively dose of humor into the enduringly relatable themes of moving and the challenge of making new friends. A droll and delightful pick for any collection.”
—STARRED REVIEW, Booklist
“The ‘ink, watercolor, sweat, tears, and blood’ that (per the copyright page) went into Braithwaite’s playful, scribbly artwork shine, as do the abundance of visual gags and turns of phrase that’ll make even grown-ups reading aloud chuckle. Friendship made easy—and fun.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“There’s so much packed into this dainty story. . . . The images evoke a spirit of doodling and childlike fun. . . . This story packs a punch.”
—School Library Journal
