An alien named jomny is dropped onto Earth by a space ship and given a task  please find out about the earbth creatures . humabns. Take ur time, realy take as much time as u need. What ensues is not only a journey of exploration by a friendly alien introducing himself to anyone he meets, but it is also a window into the incredibly creative mind of Jonny Sun.

Many people know Jonny from his enigmatic Twitter feed @jonnysun, which has over 406 thousand followers, and has been featuring this character in both art and words. He is an architect, a designer, engineer, artist, playwright and comedy writer, and his work crosses multiple disciplines, exploring the human experience in unusual and endearing ways. He is also the person behind @tinycarebot, a self-care feed that posts daily reminders to do things like, play some of your favorite music, please or dont forget to moisturize, please which has gotten some terrific media coverage in this particular time of stress (covered in the New York Times, TIME.com, Buzzfeed, NBC News, Mashable, Refinery29, and many other outlets).

The culmination of his lifes work is everyones a aliebn when ur a aliebn too by jomny sun, an adorable philosophical work, chock full of beautiful illustrations, and reminiscent of the film WALL-E, the Winnie the Pooh books, Bill Wattersons Calvin and Hobbes, and Shel Silversteins work, all in Jonny Suns unique style of language.

Jomny Suns incredible writing knocks you to the floor, breathless, then scoops you up and gives you a kiss where it hurts before it occurs to you to cry. Read this book only if you want to feel more alive.  Lin-Manuel Miranda

Jomny Sun has created a frightened, hopeful view of Life As We Know It from the perspective of a weirdly relatable alien intelligence. Fantastic.  Patton Oswalt

This book is funny and sad, simple and complex, badly spelled and beautifully written. Jonmy Sun gets more out of a panel than most do out of a page, revealing obvious yet hidden truths as only someone one step out of step could.  Joss Whedon
