Your Alien

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Goro Fujita. An alien comes to live with a little boy but gets homesick, so the boy helps him return to his family. The unusual second-person narration gives an appropriately otherworldly quality to the warm story about homesickness and the comfort of family. The illustrations, many on nighttime backgrounds with striking rendering of light, adeptly capture the alien's wistfulness and the boy's compassion.
