A 2025 ALA NOTABLE BOOK A 2025 KIRKUS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR A 2026 BANK STREET COLLEGE OF EDUCATION BEST CHILDREN'S BOOK A 2026 USBBY OUSTANDING INTERNATIONAL BOOK A 2025 FOREWORD INDIES BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR FINALIST An astronaut grapples with the absence of his otherworldly friend in this poignant tale of loss and acceptance from an award-winning Spanish illustrator. When Astro arrives on a faraway planet, everyone wants to meet him. Who's this strange person, and why is he here? But one kind creature in particular is especially drawn to him. Together, they form an unlikely bond and navigate the world's curious terrains--mountains, caves, oceans. When the creature is taken from him, Astro must confront the difficult questions that underlie our existence: Why are we here? What is our life for? Using a mix of collage, pencil and ink, and thickly layered acrylic, award-winning Manuel Marsol's illustrations teem with the vastness and wonder of life near and far. "I guarantee that nothing else for sale in America right now quite looks or feels like this book."--Betsy Bird, School Library Journal.…
