Your Alien Returns

40 pp. | Sterling | October, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4549-1130-2 $14.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Goro Fujita. This follow-up to Your Alien inverts the original story with the boy joining his alien for a playdate in space. When the boy gets homesick, the alien brings him home. Again relying on atypical second-person narration gives the brief but emotional story--about friendship, love, and belonging--an appropriately otherworldly quality. The richly colored illustrations are full of personality and adventure.
