Books by PJ Williams
Stories for children growing up with questions, data, and machines.
Define Labs books turn big ideas about identity, fairness, AI, and human judgment into warm stories families and classrooms can talk about together.
A Defining Wizard Story
The Robot That Asked Why
When R.O.B. uses data cards to make the perfect classroom teams, one child gets misunderstood. The class learns that facts can help, but a person is more than a label, score, or sorting rule.
Can a robot know all my facts and still not know me?
- Ages 7-9
- Families and classrooms
- AI literacy through story
Inside the Story
Use supporting art sparingly, as a quiet preview of the world rather than a full sample of the book.
Reader promise: a child-friendly doorway into data, identity, fairness, and better questions.
Keep the page calm and book-focused. Let the cover lead; use these card visuals lower on the page as a world-building detail.
