"Here is the unforgettable story of Jomny, a lonely alien who, for the first time ever, finds a home on our planet after learning that earthlings can feel lonely too. Jomny finds friendship in a bear tired of other creatures running away in fear, an egg struggling to decide what to hatch into, an owl working its way to being wise, a tree feeling stuck in one place, a tadpole coming to terms with turning into a frog, a dying ghost, a puppy unable to express itself, and many more" --
Truly lovely ruminating on loneliness, purpose, friendship and more. With, of course, super cute art.
Despite the unconventional spelling and grammar in this graphic novel, the message is heartfelt and so lovely. The book follows Jomny, an alien left on Earth by his fellows to find and research humans. He meets all sorts of interesting creatures, and we see that humanity manifests in many ways. Though we come in many shapes and we all see the world differently, we all share the need to love and be loved, feel safe, be proud of who we are and what we do, and connect with others. This book definitely deserves more than a passing glance.
