Praise for The Girl and the Robot Heart

Holiday magic via a surrealist lens in this love-extolling picture book... Naif-style mixed-media art has a dreamy quality that mirrors Hoskins's verse, making for an inventive read
Publishers Weekly

The poetic text is perfectly matched with delicate, naïve sketches brightened with pops of amber and red... Like the heart, the images pulse in a rhythm that expands to embrace the outside and contracts again to focus on the girl and her loving home... This book's heart soars far beyond its yuletide setting
Kirkus Reviews

A book about the greatness of small life, about being human and all the love we can share, which reaches far beyond the small, quiet town we call home. It is a wonderful story that will warm our hearts all year round. I hope that many will find this book and enjoy it
