Reviews
"Although wordless, this deftly expresses our simple need to build connections that can endure across a galaxy."--starred, Kirkus Reviews, "This almost-wordless story of friendship and separation shows a small alien making its way to Earth in a spaceship that looks (and opens) like a pill capsule. The use of color conveys important meaning within the rounded, bubbly art. After landing on Earth, the alien encounters a friendly rabbit in a candy-colored landscape and then makes its way into town, where it is ignored by a throng of tall, oblivious adults, rendered in drab grays and browns. Eventually, the dejected alien meets a similarly sized child, who offers crayons and paper; through the act of making art, the two become fast friends. The alien turns out to be delightfully helpful, as it can retrieve lost paper airplanes and dropped ice cream with its handheld device. The device unfortunately then calls the alien back to its home planet, and the new friendship is tested by untold miles. Back home, the other aliens, anxious to hear about the traveler's adventures, are tellingly rendered in the same drab lack of color as the adults on Earth. In a wistful, open-ended conclusion, the small alien finds the perfect way to send a message back to its new very-long distance friend: the one-word grand gesture of a celestial 'Hello.'"--The Horn Book Magazine, "Friendship can truly be out of this world. A pale-faced, antennaed intergalactic explorer zooms through space in a red and blue rocket. Landing in the countryside on Earth, the visitor first discovers a colorful, welcoming world. But in town, the color disappears, and gray adult humans stride past one another, staring at their handheld devices. Only the explorer is still shown in color, staring up in bewilderment and lost in the sea of gray. Ignored, the explorer sits alone until an Asian-presenting human child offers a red crayon and paper. Together they draw pictures and fold them into paper airplanes that fly through the air, until the human's becomes stuck in a tree. The explorer uses a gadget first to rescue the airplane and again when the child's ice cream falls off its cone. When the explorer receives a message on the gadget and gets back into the rocket, the two friends say goodbye. Once home, however, the explorer misses the friend left behind on Earth and sends a star-studded message of greeting--the only word in the book. Vivid illustrations are often multipaneled, like a graphic novel, and vary in perspective for storytelling and cinematic effect. The presumably adult explorer and human child are similarly short and sturdily built, lending them a pleasing visual consonance. Although wordless, this deftly expresses our simple need to build connections that can endure across a galaxy."--starred, Kirkus Reviews, "This book does a wonderful job of demonstrating and capturing the beauty and wonder of unique friendships. Out of this world!"--School Library Journal, "This almost-wordless story of friendship and separation shows a small alien making its way to Earth. . . .In a wistful, open-ended conclusion the small alien fiends the perfect way to send a message back to its new very-long-distance friend: the one-word grand gesture of celestial 'Hello.'"--The Horn Book Magazine, "An alien arrives on Earth and befriends a young girl. The two share simple and pleasant moments such as enjoying ice cream together, creating and flying paper airplanes, and observing a beautiful sky. This wordless picture book does a wonderful job of illustrating a budding friendship by expressing emotional exchanges solely through illustration. White space is frequently used to focus readers' attention on the growing bond between the two characters. Scenes composed with lots of white space are woven together with other scenes filled with vivid and vibrant color. In this way, the viewers's attention is frequently shifted from small changes to large changes in scenes. Characters in the background are often depicted in shades of black and white, with the protagonists illuminated in full color. Panels are used to capture movement and emotional transitions. The cute rounded characters are a charming and refreshing addition to this book. Their facial features add delight to the narrative. Beautiful intergalactic scenes add a mesmerizing touch. Line is used to depict both sound and movement. VERDICT This book does a wonderful job of demonstrating and capturing the beauty and wonder of unique friendships. Out of this world!"--School Library Journal

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
