Are we alone in the universe? Scientific exploration meets magical adventure in a third stunningly illustrated picture book from the creator of the celebrated The Search for the Giant Arctic Jellyfish.
Commander Julia and her team have one mission: to head into the vast unknown and answer the greatest question of our universe: Are we alone? But after visiting countless moons and planets of every size and color, they’ve found . . . absolutely nothing. For the sake of her crew, who have been crammed into a rocket ship for ten long years, Commander Julia makes the call: it’s time to return home after checking one last planet. And it is on this seemingly desolated wasteland, just as their patience and hope have finally faded, that they find the answer they’ve been looking for—while facing new questions about who they are, what to do next, and what it means it have a home. Laced with humor and wisdom, this third gorgeously illustrated picture book from award-winning creator Chloe Savage blends scientific exploration with magical adventure, filling us with wonder, awe, and the potential for newfound joy every step of the way.

“A witty, inventive and wonderful tale that encourages readers to step back and see the beautiful picture painted by our interrelated world.”—BookPage (starred review)
The cat that Olive rescues from a flood has a secret: he’s not really a cat at all, but an alien who crashed to Earth on a beam of light. The cat, whom Olive names Leonard, was prepared to visit the planet as a human—but something went wrong. Now Leonard may never know what it’s like to hold an umbrella, go bowling, or host a dinner party. (And his human jokes still need some work: Knock, knock. Who’s there? Just Leonard. It is me.) While Olive worries about whether she will have to move after Mom and her new boyfriend get back from their summer vacation, Leonard tries to figure out how to get from South Carolina to Yellowstone National Park, because if he’s not there at the end of the month, he’ll miss his ride home. But as Olive teaches Leonard about the beautiful and confusing world of humans, he starts to realize how much he cares about this particular one. A sweet and dryly funny story about what it means to be human—and what it means to be home.
