'i was so worried about wat i would become in the future that i didn't realize i can be anything i want to be right now'. - Jomny Sun

'if you are sad because happiness is fleeting, juet remember that sadness is also fleeting'. - Jomny Sun

This was such a wholesome book. Spanning across 300 pages, this delightful comic book speaks of everything that we humans question. An egg-headed alien is dropped off at Earth in order to study humans for over a hundred days. Never feeling at home with his own kind, this little fellow arrives confused and scared. But he instantly makes friends with those he meets which includes plants and animals and an occasional Yeti. Every little thing he meets teaches him something be it about art, life, friendship, love, acceptance and even death. It's surprising how well Jomny has managed to convey certain heavy topics through just a few lines and creative drawings. You aren't too young or too old to give this a read and in more than one way, this book reminded me of The Little Prince. There are so many beautiful metaphors put to use to describe life and everything in between that warmed me on cold nights. This also happened to be one of my last reads of 2020 and what a wonderful one it turned out to be. The language used is clumsy like that of a child but it makes sense considering how an alien is narrating his experiences.

I highly recommend this.
