When he meets a girl named Elsie during a factory tour, he discovers laughter for the first time through a silly guessing game. Once he joins her class at school, Riko slowly learns to recognize and name his feelings, one at a time, through the everyday ups and downs of classroom life: a tower that collapses, a poem that gets laughed at, a project ruined by accident, a scary moment lost in the woods. Through Riko's journey, kids learn that every one of these feelings, even the uncomfortable ones, is normal and worth talking about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRiko the Robot\u003c\/em\u003e doesn't stop at the end of the story.
