Luna is a curious girl stuck on a rainy day with homework and no help from her sick friend. Out of nowhere, a glowing robot named Nova lands in her backyard-from the future! Using his futuristic technology, he helps Luna with her tasks, while she teaches him about friendship, kindness, and feelings. Together, they help Luna’s friend Mia, discover the meaning of joy and gratitude, and share a sweet bond that crosses time. The story ends with Nova returning to his own time, leaving Luna hopeful for their next adventure.

I loved how simple yet meaningful the story felt. The rhyme flows smoothly, like a lullaby, and the rhythm keeps you turning pages without realizing it. It’s got that cozy mix of sci-fi and warmth that feels rare in children’s books. I liked Luna’s kindness most of all, she never hesitates to help. And Nova’s curiosity about emotions hit me in a soft spot. It’s sweet watching a robot learn that friendship can’t be programmed. The message about kindness and helping others felt real, not forced. It reminded me of how kids can be both logical and tender at the same time.

The writing is gentle and clear, perfect for young readers or parents reading aloud. It made me smile and feel that small spark of wonder that good children’s stories always give. The illustrations are beautifully rendered digital illustrations. The character designs are polished and appealing. The use of light and color is particularly masterful, with the warm, dreamlike palette working together to create magical and atmospheric scenes. It feels like a Disney or Pixar cartoon, which I’m sure children will love.

I’d recommend The Friend from the Future to kids around five to ten years old, or to anyone who loves stories about friendship and a touch of magic. It’s great for bedtime, classrooms, or quiet afternoons. It’s a story about kindness, learning feelings, and how even a robot can understand the power of love and helping others.
