Falling to earth from a space ship, Beegu is a small creature who now must manage on her own. She’s determined to make friends but she can’t find anyone who can understand her. When she spies some children playing at school she’s sure that is the perfect place for her. And it is. When Beegu finally gets home safely she remembers the love the children gave her and hopes that they will remember her with affection, too. Alexis Deacon’s atmospheric illustrations capture the pathos of being an outsider.
Synopsis
Beegu isn't supposed to be on Earth. She is lost. She is a friendly little creature, but the Earth People don't seem very welcoming at all. However, so far she has only met the 'big' ones. The little ones are a different matter.
