When three mysterious visitors show up in Mr. Li’s field in the middle of the night, he does what any kind human would do – he invites them back to his farmhouse and offers to help fix their… car. No, there’s nothing strange about these guests at all. They’re just like other humans.
They make business.
They play sportsball.
And they wear hat.
Yes, they are DEFINITELY human… or are they?

A celebration of how weird can be wonderful too

An author-illustrator with a singular and witty vision… For those of us who are indisputably, unalterably human, the book is a welcome vote of confidence. Maybe NASA can figure out a way to weld a copy onto its next space probe?
