SPACEMAN
In this story we find out how on earth Lewis’ Grampa Ethan became an alien, and what happened after he did. What happened when the other aliens met this little kid? What did they think of him? Some had ideas that little Ethan wasn’t at all in agreement with. And, it wasn’t every day that an alien mom was presented with a little human boy to raise. Some very surprised aliens came away just a little bewildered.

THE KID NEXT DOOR
Real friendship is a rare and wonderful thing. Ethan finds his first life-long friend in the unlikeliest place, at least, unlikely for us ordinary humans. The very-human Ethan lives on another planet, far away from us.
No matter, a friend is a friend no matter where you find them. A difference of species makes for a few complications; workable, but confusing. There’s a lesson in there somewhere, if they can just see past the befuddlement.

SAME, BUT DIFFERENT
What if whoever raised you, knew nothing about humans? What if it was an alien from another planet?
This is one of the stories of such a grampa; the ones he tells his grandchildren, about how he grew up and who raised him. Adopted by aliens, his upbringing would probably have been very different, wouldn't you think?
How dissimilar would it be? Are alien parents really so different from human parents? Not according to Grampa. And, he learned his first important lesson after his adoption. ‘Be who you are’.
The ideal book for a kid who thinks they would be better off with a completely different set of parents.

BOY OH BOY
THERE IS ONE THING THAT ALL PARENTS KNOW … LITTLE BOYS CAN BE A HANDFUL.
Grampa Ethan recalls the many adjustments he’s had to make as a boy living on another planet. Of course, ‘adjustments’ are just his euphemism for ‘getting into trouble’, you understand. Like any typical little boy, he’d get into scrapes and difficulties during the normal course of the day; things like bringing home strange animals, inappropriate things under the bed, messing with the house’s AI. You know, normal little boy stuff. What made it complicated was the fact that all of this took place on a world that had very little understanding of a young human child of the male gender.
I do believe that every parent here knows exactly what I’m talking about.
