The Wild Robot Protects

Brown has a deep appreciation for nature and the environment, and this passion is reflected in his Wild Robot series. In the series, the natural world plays a central role in the story and the character development of the protagonist, a robot named Roz. Brown’s love for nature is evident in his vivid descriptions of the wilderness and his portrayal of the animals that inhabit it. In book one of the series, The Wild Robot, Roz, then ROZZUM unit 7134, washes up on the shore of an uninhabited island after a shipwreck. Roz learns to adapt to her environment by watching the island’s animals use their instincts for survival. In the second book in the series, The Wild Robot Escapes, after RECCO robots capture Roz and send her to work on a farm, Roz must earn the trust of two human children to help her escape the farm and return to her island. Using the survival skills she learned on the island, such as camouflage, Roz’s journey takes her through nature and into a bustling city. Through his writing, Brown encourages readers to appreciate the beauty of the natural world and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
