There's An Alien In My Glove

There's an Alien in My Glove is a gentle, beautifully illustrated picture book about imagination, care, and the quiet ways children make sense of the world.

When a young girl calmly tells a stranger, "There's an alien in my glove," a small moment opens into something much larger. The alien is never fully seen - only felt - as the child wonders where it came from, what it needs, and why it chose her glove.

As the story unfolds, the narrator imagines having an alien of their own - taking it to the park, playing, singing, and learning what it means to care for someone small and precious. And when the alien must finally leave, the book offers a tender truth: some beings stay just long enough to help us feel safe.

Written in simple, lyrical language and paired with soft, winter-lit illustrations, There's an Alien in My Glove is a quiet, emotionally resonant story for children - and the adults who read with them.

Perfect for:

• Ages 3-7
• Bedtime reading
• Discussions about empathy, imagination, and gentle goodbyes
