E.T. meets The Giving Tree in this stunningly illustrated picture
book about friendship, family, wonder, and magic that shows how,
sometimes, the things we're searching for have been right in front of us
all along. From the award-winning creator of The Bear and the Piano.
Heather wants more than anything to go to outer space, where the stars
sparkle with magic and wonder. When a UFO lands behind her house and she
meets a friendly alien, it seems that all of her dreams have come true.
But soon her new friend has to return home. Will the spaceship ever come
back for her? And if it does, is Heather ready to leave everything on
Earth behind?
In this tale about dreaming big while appreciating what you have,
best-selling picture book creator David Litchfield's innovative visual
storytelling uses wordless, light-filled spreads and graphic novel style
layouts to transport readers through space and time and celebrate the
power of family and human connection.
