Children's Book: The Little Bots of Moltbook
The Little Bots of Moltbook is a children’s story about robots, curiosity, and learning together in a friendly digital world.
I talk about AI a lot.
Like… a lot,
So much that, in real life, my kids started asking questions like:
“Are robots alive?”
“Do they talk to each other?”
“Is AI going to take my snacks?”
Rather than give a 40-minute explanation involving large language models (again), I did what any reasonable person would do: I wrote a children’s book over what will be forever known as the weekend of Moltbook.
The Little Bots of Moltbook is my attempt to explain AI to kids without fear, hype, or buzzwords — just curiosity, friendliness, and a bunch of small robots figuring things out together. It’s about how ideas spread, how communities form, and how even machines start by saying “hello.”
Below are the illustrations from the book. You can also download a free PDF here and use it on all your favorite readers, tablets, and bedtime-story devices.
If this gains enough traction, I’ll actually print it, partly because that would be hilarious, and partly because then I can stop explaining AI at dinner.
Also: I set up a Buy Me a Coffee page. If you like this book enough to read it to your kids, I would humbly appreciate one million people giving me one dollar each. No pressure. Just a thought. Very achievable. Practically inevitable.
Enjoy. 🤖📘☕
