What is I Wish I was an Alien about?

A boy dreams of becoming an alien so he can zoom through space, visit distant planets and escape the ordinary rules of life on Earth. But somewhere among the stars, an alien is gazing down at our planet and wishing to be a boy instead. With playful rhymes and a clever change of viewpoint, this lively story shows that everyone can imagine a different life—and that the things we take for granted may seem wonderfully exciting to someone else.
