Welcome to April Adventures — our newest monthly theme where every story is a journey! And we're kicking things off with a tale that’s both heartwarming and wild: The Wild Robot by Peter Brown and its beautiful, animated film adaptation.
In this episode, we dive into the story of Roz, a robot who wakes up alone on a remote island and must learn how to survive in the wilderness... and maybe even find her place among the animals that live there. It's a sweet, surprisingly emotional journey of self-discovery, survival, and the meaning of family — even when that family is full of geese, bears, and squirrels.
Hosted by Keri with co-hosts Lindsey and Crystal.
