Description My Alien Friend is a delicious, sweet, humorous illustrated story. It's a story about empathy, the capacity for self-criticism, and non-conformity, which attempts to form young readers who are thoughtful and use their own judgment. An alien child has arrived as an exchange student at Tomas's school. The poor thing doesn't understand how things work on Earth, and is constantly surprised by some behaviors, such as that day at recess when an older kid intimidated a littler one so he would hand over his sandwich, or that other day that Tomas's friends laughed at a classmate for playing with the girls. My Alien Friend is a story that will help us reflect about the responsibility we take for our actions and our silences, and about the need to never let others think for us..
