"What a beautiful glitch!"
Jennifer E. - 5 years 7 months agoAfter recommending Peter Brown’s The Wild Robot as a read aloud for our class, one of my second graders gifted us with the sequel The Wild Robot Escapes to find out what happens to our favorite character next! True to form, Peter Brown’s messages of identity and acceptance speak to readers of all ages. “Maybe I am defective, maybe everything I have experienced is the result of a glitch. But if so, what a beautiful glitch!” My favorite illustration was Roz reading a book, and my favorite scene was The Final Farewell: Roz’s son “Brightbill landed in the grass near Dr. Molovo. He gazed up at the woman, deep into her eyes, and then he bowed his head...Like a wave rolling through the crowd, more animals bowed until every head was lowered. They were showing respect for the woman who had created their dear friend Roz, and who had brought her back to them.” This bears a strong resemblance with the biblical prophecy in Philippians 2:10, “that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth.” As a believer, Dr. Molovo serves as a feminine rendition of God, Roz as a Christ figure, Brightbill as Christians who become sons and daughters of God not through biology but through adoption, and the wild animals as every tribe, tongue and nation bowing in reverence for the divine Creator. As an educator, Dr. Molovo’s observation resonated with me, “If you love your job it never feels like work.” This book is a sheer joy!
