"New friends can come from far-flung places … or planets. In this charming story, a boy meets a little green alien. Instantly, the two become inseparable, sharing fun and adventures. However, at bedtime, the boy sees his new friend growing sad. Hard as it is, he must somehow help his friend get home. In Your Alien, Tammi Sauer captures the giddy joy of friendship and the heartbreak of saying goodbye. This, coupled with Goro Fujita’s friendly and engaging illustrations, will make you long for an alien friend of your own. (For ages 3 and up)"
