Xalien the Purple Alien by Michelle Path
5.0
A fun little book about the positives of making friends and all the things we can learn from other people (or aliens)! Beautifully illustrated and laid out, and a good vibe all the way through.
Xalien the Purple Alien is a lovely little book about an alien whose spaceship crashes to Earth, and who makes friends with three Earth children while she waits for her family to pick her up.
The artwork throughout the book is great, it has a really nice style. The text layout makes the book really easy to read, with all the speech in bold, which is so useful for reading out loud.
This book is really good for getting the imagination going, helping children to think about the possibilities of adventure out in the universe, while also showing how really familiar things can be so strange to people who have grown up somewhere a bit different! And through it all runs the theme of making friends, celebrating differences and learning from them, which is such a positive message for children.
This is just a really wholesome book, full of imagination, and shows that sometimes doing the most normal of things can be an adventure if you see it through Xalien’s eyes.
