PS
An alien child travels through space seeking a star he sees from his home. Flip the book over and follow a human boy's parallel journey. Their adventures come together in a large pop-up centerpiece. Busy graffiti-like graphite and digital illustrations convey a sense of wonder. The text--all five verses of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"--is surprisingly awkward.
