A philosophical children’s picture book that explores identity through questions posed by a robot built by the protagonist.

‘Can I Build Another Me?’ is a children’s picture book that follows Kenta, a boy who decides to build a robot to take on all the tasks he would rather avoid. As the robot strives to become more like Kenta, it begins to ask him a series of questions. Through this exchange, Kenta is prompted to reflect on the complex question of what makes him who he is.
