This book isn't quite a picture book but not quite a graphic novel either. It's a short, easily understood narrative in two perspectives: Burt and his new foster mother Lydia. Burt believes himself to be an alien and is attempting to return to space. Lydia wants Burt to feel at ease with her and is giving him space to adjust. Reading this book with an older child allows the adult to discuss different perspectives and the nature of truth. It encourages the child to engage with the text and illustrations in a deeper way. Young children likely will not fully understand the book but may enjoy the dynamic illustrations.
