This is Robomop, a hardworking robot who's good at his job, which is cleaning...well, yes, the public restroom. But it's not all mopping, slopping, rubbing, and scrubbing. Robomop also does a wicked honky-tonk dance to the window washer's radio, and he dreams of seeing the sun and sky. So when he's carried outside one day, Robomop believes his wish has come true at last. Has it? Well one thing is for certain: for this little robot, finding his place in the world means never giving up trying.
Sean Taylor is a children's writer, storyteller, and teacher. He grew up in Surrey, England, and taught in Zimbabwe before studying at Cambridge. He, his wife, and their two sons divide their time between England and Brazil.

Edel Rodriguez was born in Havana, Cuba. He majored in painting at Pratt Institute (BFA) and Hunter College (MFA). His work has appeared in picture books, on stamps for the U.S. Postal Service, and on posters for films and Broadway shows.
