From bestselling picture book maker Lucy Ruth Cummins comes an intergalactic tail of boy-meets-dog...

One night, a visitor from outer space arrives in Stephen’s garden. This visitor may look like a Dalmatian, but it certainly doesn’t act like one and at first, Stephen and the visitor get off on the wrong paw. They quibble over kibble, disagree on who sleeps where, and must abandon earth dogs’ approach to bathroom breaks altogether to keep the peace. Will a shared love of bacon be a strong enough foundation for this ordinary boy and extraordinary dog to learn to live in harmony? And will Dalmartian find the true meaning of home?

​That’s the funny thing about friendship... it unexpectedly comes from unexpected places.

Lucy Ruth Cummins is an author, illustrator, and art director of children’s books. She was happily paired with Jean Reidy for both Truman, which was named a New York Times Best Children’s Book of 2019, and Sylvie. She is also the author-illustrator of Stumpkin, Vampenguin, Dalmartian: A Mars Rover’s Story, Our Pool, and A Hungry Lion, or A Dwindling Assortment of Animals. Lucy has swum in creeks, streams, gorges, rivers, swimming holes, pools (above- and in-ground), lakes (both Great and Finger), decorative fountains, and oceans. Her very favorite place to swim, however, is at her community pool in Brooklyn with her sons and her neighbors.
