Description
GESTALTEN
Siri, Alexa, self-driving cars — your child asks what all of it really is. This book gives the most honest answer there is.
Hallo, Roboter! is not a dry STEM book. Written by CosiCosa — a women-led, non-profit organisation of STEM and social ethics experts dedicated to raising children as critical users of emerging technology — and illustrated by Ana Seixas, who previously worked for The Guardian, Snapchat and Bloomsbury Publishing, this Kleine Gestalten children’s non-fiction book explains how Artificial Intelligence really works: how self-driving cars recognise their surroundings, how Alexa and Siri understand speech, why machines sometimes get things wrong — and what ethical questions AI poses for our society.
The gift for everyone who wants to explain AI to their child — without having studied computer science
Children ask about Artificial Intelligence today before most adults have a good answer ready. What actually is ChatGPT? Why does the car find its own way? Can machines really think? Hallo, Roboter! answers these questions — honestly, thoroughly, and without preaching techno-optimism: the book shows how AI learns by itself (and why it sometimes goes wrong), how smart prosthetics help people who have lost a limb, and why even the best machines cannot reliably read emotions. This is not a book that tells children how amazing robots are — it’s one that makes them informed users of a technology that will accompany them throughout their lives.
64 full-colour pages — by an illustrator with a serious career
Ana Seixas — Portuguese graphic designer and illustrator, known from projects for The Guardian, Snapchat and Bloomsbury Publishing — has brought the book to life across 64 full-colour pages in the 22 × 30 cm format, making even demanding subjects immediately accessible. Hardcover, stitch bound. A birthday, Christmas, or Easter gift for curious children that won’t disappear onto a shelf. Note: this edition is in German; the English edition is titled Hello, Robot! by Little Gestalten.

Frequently asked questions
From what age is Hallo, Roboter! suitable?
The book is aimed at children from around age 8 who are beginning to question the technologies around them. Ana Seixas’s colourful illustrations and CosiCosa’s clearly structured text make even complex concepts like machine learning, autonomous vehicles and algorithmic decision-making accessible at this age — without oversimplifying.
Does the book also cover the risks and limits of AI — or only the positives?
Both — and that’s its strength. Hallo, Roboter! explicitly shows where Artificial Intelligence fails: machines cannot reliably recognise emotions. Algorithms make mistakes. CosiCosa deliberately designed the book so that children become critical users — not uncritical fans of smart technology.
Is this a picture book or a non-fiction book?
Non-fiction — with picture-book quality. The 64 pages contain no narrative story, but structured explanations of different areas of Artificial Intelligence: from the invention of the first intelligent machines through self-learning systems to smart prosthetics and ethical questions. Illustrated by Ana Seixas with a visual language that will appeal to adults too.
Who is CosiCosa — and why are they the right authors for this book?
CosiCosa is a women-led, non-profit organisation of STEM and social ethics experts that develops educational programmes to turn children into critical users and responsible designers of emerging technologies. No other author team combines this depth of technical knowledge with a genuine educational mission. This shows in the book: there are no false simplifications and no unreflective enthusiasm for technology.
Is there an English edition of this book?
Yes — the English edition is published under the title Hello, Robot! Day-to-day life with Artificial Intelligence by Little Gestalten (September 2022). The content and illustrations are identical.
