A wise, funny, and moving story of what it means to find a family, from the best-selling author of I, Cosmo.

Leonard has never had a name, a body, or a best friend. But he is excited to try being a human.

On their three-hundredth birthday, every alien from Leonard's home galaxy gets to spend a month in the body of an Earth creature. Leonard was supposed to become a forest ranger in Yellowstone National Park - but there was a mix-up.

And now he's stuck as a stray cat.

Luckily for Leonard, he meets a young human called Olive - and together they set out on a journey to find home.

Leonard is a curious and adventurous alien who has never experienced life on Earth. On his three-hundredth birthday, he is granted the opportunity to spend a month in the body of a human being on Earth. Leonard is excited about this new experience and eagerly awaits his transformation.

However, when Leonard arrives on Earth, things don't go as planned. He is mistaken for a stray cat and taken in by a kind-hearted woman named Olive. At first, Leonard is confused and frustrated by his new situation. He longs to be in his own body and explore the world as an alien.

But as he spends more time with Olive and her family, Leonard begins to see the beauty and complexity of human life. He learns about love, friendship, and family, and begins to form connections with people that he never thought possible.

Through his experiences as a stray cat, Leonard learns valuable lessons about empathy, compassion, and the importance of being open to new experiences. He also discovers that his true home is not just in his own galaxy, but on Earth, where he can find a family and a place that he truly belongs.

In the end, Leonard's time on Earth is a transformative experience that changes him forever. He returns to his home galaxy with a newfound appreciation for the human race and a determination to make a difference in the world.

Leonard's journey to Earth is a heartwarming and inspiring story that reminds us of the power of love, friendship, and compassion. It teaches us that no matter where we come from or who we are, we can always find a place that we truly belong.
