One day at the Library by the Sea, Clara meets Airius — a beautiful brass bird who can think very fast and answer almost any question.

Clara is amazed.

But sometimes, Airius misunderstands.

With Grandma Ada’s gentle guidance, Clara begins to notice something important. The bird can think quickly — but it cannot feel, wonder, or understand the way she can. So Clara learns to slow down. She asks clearer questions. Kinder questions. More thoughtful questions.
And little by little, Airius’s answers become brighter.
Clara and the Thinking Machine is a warm and imaginative story about curiosity, wisdom, and the power of thoughtful questions.
