Humans are Awesome!: A Kid's Guide to Staying Smarter Than AI

"Lopez and Ulloa have crafted a practical, thought-provoking manual for kids on a topic that is likely at the forefront of parents' minds. They make their points in a fun and engaging way...The illustrations, with their short, choppy lines and plenty of shading that gives all of the diverse cast a joyful and dynamic sense of movement, complement the narrative. This combination-of a visually sumptuous feast and highly pertinent subject matter-is a superb pairing that teaches kids skills in a relatively new field through engaging instructions and compelling images. A beautifully illustrated children's guide to the intricacies of AI that celebrates the wonders of being human." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
