Parents ... who have taken their children on a vacation!
On a winter day at a book fair, a little girl shares a small mystery. She says there’s an alien in her glove — and she says it as if it’s perfectly ordinary.
From that moment grows a soft, thoughtful story about imagination and responsibility, told with warmth and restraint. As the child takes her unseen companion along through daily moments of play and care, she quietly practices kindness, attention, and letting go.
There’s an Alien in My Glove is a beautifully illustrated picture book for children ages 3–7 and the adults who read with them. Calm and emotionally gentle, it’s ideal for bedtime, quiet reading, or moments when children need reassurance without explanation.
This story invites readers to slow down and listen — to imagination, to feelings, and to the small comforts that sometimes stay just long enough to help us grow.
Parents who want to encourage imagination.
