I Am An Outer Space Alien (I am an Alien) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

I Am An Outer Space Alien by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I Am An Outer Space Alien is part of the I Am An Alien Series. It is a children’s book geared towards children from the ages of four to eight years old. The story centers around a little girl named Shirley who feels like she does not belong on Earth. She does not like her name because she thinks the letter “y” droops like a dog’s tail, so she calls herself Shirl. Shirl feels like an alien because she does not remember being born, does not like Earth food, and does not like to play Earth games. When a space ship lands, and an alien girl gets off the ship, she and Shirl become instant friends. Shirl finally feels like she has something in common with someone and feels as though she belongs. A cute and quirky story about inclusion, friendship, individuality, and acceptance. The bright illustrations really made the story pop off the pages and brought the story to life. I highly recommend this book!
