Rusto Robotic Utility Support Technician Interface by Thomas K Wickenden (Hardback book)

Meet Rusto — a cheerful, slightly clumsy robot with a barcode smile and a toolkit full of determination.

In his shiny new kingdom filled with buttons, wires, tools, and the occasional goldfish, Rusto’s job is to fix things. The only problem? Everything keeps going wrong! From mistaken repairs to hilarious mishaps, Rusto learns that making mistakes is part of the journey — and that persistence, creativity, and a positive attitude can turn even the biggest mess into something wonderful.

Blending charming hand-drawn illustrations with fun real-life photos of the actual Rusto model (and his miniature world), this delightful picture book is packed with humor, heart, and gentle life lessons about learning, trying again, and never giving up.

Created during lockdown by Thomas K Wickenden, Rusto is a playful, feel-good story perfect for young readers, robot lovers, and anyone who’s ever tried to fix something… and made it even better in the process.

A fun, uplifting read for children and the young at heart.
