Reach for this book when your child starts comparing themselves to others or feels self conscious about their appearance. It is a perfect choice for the child who worries about being different or has encountered a peer who makes them feel less than because of how they look. Through a clever role reversal, this story helps children realize that beauty is entirely a matter of perspective. The story follows a visitor from outer space who lands in an elementary school. While the human children find the alien strange and green, the alien is equally horrified by the children's lack of antennae and their weird, pink skin. This humorous encounter shifts the focus from feeling judged to understanding that everyone is different to someone else. It is an ideal read for 4 to 8 year olds to build self confidence and empathy through laughter.
