WINNER of the Ezra Jack Keats Best New Illustrator Award • An American Library Association Notable Children's Book
A hilarious alien invasion story with a feel-good message about what it means to be human. Perfect for earthlings of all ages.
When three mysterious visitors from ""Europe"" crash-land in Mr. Li's field, he does what any good host would: he invites them back to his farmhouse and offers to help fix up their ""car"". No, there's nothing strange about these guests at all. Just like other humans, they ""make business"", ""play sportsball"" and ""wear hat"". As the townsfolk also come to the aid of the visitors and the gathering turns into a little party, interplanetary relations reach an all-time high.
A sweetly funny extraterrestrial offering that explores surprising acts of kindness and acceptance, X. Fang's second picture book is truly out of this world. X.

Fang's debut picture book Dim Sum Palace, which the New York Times called “sumptuous,” was the winner of the 2023 Society of Illustrators' Dilys Evans Founders Award.
