Summary:"Billie is relentlessly resourceful. Nothing can keep her down! Band has no instruments? Easy. She'll make some. Dad's Zoom meetings too boring? Piece of cake. She'll liven them up with a dramatic reading from her favorite book. Moving away from her house and her favorite things? A breeze. She'll pack with the best of them. Friends all left behind? No problem. She'll just create one! Ta-da! His name is Robocorn, and he's a majestic robot unicorn capable of deep conversation, limbo, jumping over the sun and making pancakes. What more could a person need? Certainly not human friends . . . right? This hilarious picture book features a lovable and irrepressible new character certain to take the world by storm. No one can resist Billie, and Robocorn . . . well, Robocorn is truly one of a kind. Definitely in a good way. For sure."--

Author Notes:JOSÉ AVELINO GILLES CORBETT LOURENÇO is a Toronto-based writer and filmmaker. His debut feature Young Werther premiered in TIFF's Special Presentations section, was longlisted for for the Vallée Discovery Award, acquired by Lionsgate, and released theatrically around the world. A former Toronto Star columnist whose writing has appeared in McSweeney's, Hazlitt, the Globe and Mail and National Post , he now works across film, television, publishing and advertising. His wife and two daughters believe this bio would be 10% stronger if it were 10% shorter.

JAMES BRAITHWAITE is an illustrator, animator and writer who lives in Toronto with his lovely wife and two little sprogs. James's work has been nominated for an Oscar, was presented at the Guggenheim and won an Emmy. An Emmy is alarmingly sharp and is great for holding bananas. James currently spends all his time in his studio softly muttering at his watercolor palettes. He's fine. But you should probably bring him a bagel.
