To Activate Space Portal Lift Here

Author: Antoinette Portis

This is not just a book, it’s an interstellar portal to another world, but it works both ways. Are you ready to meet Zrk and Blrg? They are surprised to see your strange face looking back at them through the portal – to them YOU are the alien! Planeturth? They’ve never heard of it, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t have fun and become friends, before it is time for the portal to close again.

This fun, brightly coloured and interactive book is a clever and unusual look at aliens outside of our galaxy and is sure to be a big hit with all young space enthusiasts. A perfect read aloud and sharing story, full of humour, with a quiet message of acceptance and how strangers are not really all that different from us after all.
