Everyone wonders at one point or another if there is life “out there”, on other planets, in other galaxies. We stare at the sky and wonder.
Author and illustrator, Chloe Savage, takes us along on a trip into space with Captain Julie and her spaceship crew. Over the course of ten years they visit countless other planets without finding any other life. When they land on their last planet with plans to head back to Earth afterwards they seek and look and search under and over and lo and behold they meet a group of aliens. With their eyes opened to the wonders by this planet’s inhabitants will Captain Julie and her crew ever want to come home?
The watercolor illustrations are beautiful and add an ethereal quality to the book.
