Rabbit and Robot are the stars of I guess you would call them early reader books or just one early reader book so far. And they are very good friends, and Rabbit is definitely based on me. Rabbit is this very anxiety-prone list maker, overreacts a lot when things on his list don’t go exactly the way he wants them to go.
And so he tends to overreact to things when they don’t go right. His best friend is Robot. And Robot is just this mellow cool breeze, cool breeze Robot, and he just kind of helps Rabbit see things differently and look at things more positively. And he just sort of kind of mellows things out. And so Rabbit is definitely me, and Robot is more the character that I aspire to be and probably never will be, but that’s the goal.
It’s just mellower — this person who’s always looking at positive things. And I am a positive person, but I get wrapped up in these lists, you know. I must get up at five in the morning, and I must achieve all these things on my list. And you don’t have to. You shouldn’t have to. But so that’s kind of where they — what Rabbit and Robot are.
So the first book was basically Rabbit invited Robot to his house for a sleepover, and he had a list of things that they were going to do at this sleepover, and this is the order that we’re doing them. And each thing on the list something goes wrong. But Robot is able to roll with it in a way that Rabbit isn’t, and Robot at the end of the book is able to show Rabbit that they did do all the things on the list, just differently, and it was all okay because it was fun. So that’s that book.
