I Am Not a Tin Can!

A one-of-a-kind story about empathy and friendship.
When a robot asks a boy, ¿Can we be friends?¿ the boy replies, ¿I don't think so. You're a tin can.¿ The robot disagrees. After all, the robot can play music! Do math! Bake a cake! But the robot has no brain, the boy insists, and no heart. So surely it is a tin can. Is there anything the robot can do to change the boy's mind? To prove it's more than a piece of metal?
This whimsical story considers what it takes to be like someone else. And, more important, what it takes to be a friend.
