The world can be an unknown and scary place, especially when you’re all alone from another planet.

In what will probably be the cutest book I will read all year (although suggestions for contenders are welcome), the story follows jomny sun, a lonely aliebn, who is sent to Earth to observe humabns. While visiting, he comes across a cast of creatures just as lonely as he is. This illustrated book is filled with multiple perspectives on life, love and happiness bound to inspire and move readers.

everyone’s a aliebn when ur a aliebn too is a quick read, which is a bad and good thing. Bad because it’s over way too soon, but good because you can start it over right away! In fact, I would recommend reading it multiple times (or at least very slowly) in order to be able to take in and process all that the story has to offer. There were several pages that I read multiple times because I either loved what was written on them or wanted to really look at the accompanying illustrations. Despite its simplistic look, everyone’s a aliebn when ur a aliebn too is filled with words that will make your heart smile and your brain think. It also makes the perfect coloring book!
