When robot Roz opens her eyes for the first time, she discovers that she is alone on a remote, wild island. She has no idea how she got there or what her purpose is--but she knows she needs to survive. After battling a fierce storm and escaping a vicious bear attack, she realizes that her only hope for survival is to adapt to her surroundings and learn from the island's unwelcoming animal inhabitants.
As Roz slowly befriends the animals, the island starts to feel like home--until, one day, the robot's mysterious past comes back to haunt her.

Illustrated picture books and middle-grade fiction often bridge the gap between visual art and written narrative, offering young readers accessible entry points into imaginative storytelling. Bestselling works in this space demonstrate how art and text combine to examine nature, technology, and empathy, as highlighted by the widely recognized middle-grade novel The Wild Robot.
Peter Brown established his career by creating critically acclaimed picture books and speculative fiction that appeal to young readers and educators alike. Honored with a Caldecott Honor, E.B. White Read Aloud Awards, and a Children's Choice Book Award, his work features expressive character design and thoughtful narratives regarding community and survival.
Born Peter Nathan Brown on February 24, 1979, in Hopewell, New Jersey, he developed an early interest in storytelling by drawing imaginative characters and scenes as a child. During his teenage years, he expanded his creative output by writing original stories to accompany his artwork. He pursued formal training in illustration at the Art Center College of Design, where taking coursework dedicated to children's books led him to choose picture book creation as his career.
After graduating from the Art Center College of Design, Brown moved to New York City to work closer to major book publishers. Early in his career, he worked on animated television shows while creating his initial picture book projects, a background that contributed to his visual pacing and character expression. His body of work includes New York Times bestsellers, a New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book Award, and recognition as Illustrator of the Year at the Children's Choice Book Awards.
Brown's visual and narrative style is characterized by clear graphic composition, expressive character design, and a balanced integration of text and illustration. Drawing on his background in animation, he uses sequential visual storytelling to convey humor, emotional depth, and atmospheric settings.
Thematically, Brown frequently explores the intersection of wilderness and civilization, animal perspectives, and personal individuality. His picture books and middle-grade novels examine concepts of adaptability, environmental stewardship, and friendship, presenting sophisticated social and ecological themes in clear, accessible prose suited for children.
