Monk and Robot by Becky Chambers

Two short stories which together tell of a human rethinking their purpose and what brings them fulfillment, and a wild robot learning about humans needs. A hopeful and illuminating balm for the sensitive soul that paints a beautiful picture of what life could be like if we opt to take real care of the living world around us. Even with such thoughtful subject matter, the book stays refreshingly grounded and light and leaves you feeling buoyed.
