Linda Bondestam’s award-winning ‘Chop Chop: The Story of a Busy Robot’ is now out in Danish!

Chop Chop dives into a bleak future where mankind’s only hope is a little robot working as hard as it possibly can. It’s a story set in a dystopian future, where robots and humans coexist and robots have taken over human tasks. Bondestam’s thought-provoking picture book combines humour and melancholy with a touch of civilization critique.

🤖 Jensen & Dalgaard has published Bondestam’s Chop Chop: En tapper jordbos beretning (Chop Chop: En tapper jordbos berättelse, Förlaget) in Danish, translated by Dal Michaelsen. Rights via @rightsandbrands.
