Amazon Review
everyone’s a aliebn when ur a aliebn too is the illustrated story of a lonely alien sent to observe Earth, only to meet all sorts of creatures with all sorts of perspectives on life, love, and happiness, all while learning to feel a little better about being an alien—based on the enormously popular Twitter account, @jonnysun.
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.
Through this story of a lost, lonely and confused alien finding friendship, acceptance, and love among the creatures of Earth, we will all learn how to be a little more human. And for all of us earth-bound creatures here on this planet, we can all be reminded that sometimes, it takes an outsider to help us see ourselves for who we truly are.

From the moment that I saw this book at Aderson's Bookshop in Naperville, I knew that this book HAD to make its way into our classroom. I love, love, love how simple the stories and revelations are in this book. Don't be fooled, even though this looks like a book for children, it is really a book for humans of all walks, nationalities, and creeds. This is a book for anyone who has every felt sad, lonely, confused, frightened, or unable to express his or herself. Jomny the alien helps us take a look at what we stand for and at who we truly are. Join Jomny on this heartfelt and memorable journey. Buy this book and share it with your friends; everyone should own this simple little stunner.

Very very good book. I love the alien metaphor that can relate to many things! It could be anything from a new kid in school to anything you could think of! It's really good for making you think and maybe help get inside someone else's head that it reminds you of! Amazing read! 9/10
